Hello Roland!
in our Department the Structural Geology is teached basically in two
courses, a practical one named "Structural Geology", and an additional one
that explores the numerical approaches to the dynamics of the structural
geology / tectonics / geodynamics (including computer numerical modelling &
fractal analysis).
Our students perform the analsys of structural data by the use of a software
package, Daisy (you already had information through the geo-tectonics
mailing list for multiple stress inversions).
This package can manage brittle and ductile deformations, and outputs
include stereonets, contourings, gaussian fit histograms, among others.
I distribute as freeware the Daisy software to any scientific institution,
including universities for teaching and research purposes.
If you want to evaluate it, just send me your HD serial number (since the
program is cored to it) and I will e-mail you the files. In case of multiple
use (as in a computer classroom) I need the HD S/N of each computer, but
only a password file for each computer is required from me.
Cheers,
Francesco
