Stereonet 9: Structural Geology Analysis Software

A specialized software program for analyzing and visualizing structural geology data, allowing geologists to interpret geological structures and processes with planar and linear orientation data on stereographic projections.

What is Stereonet 9?

Stereonet 9 is a specialized software program designed specifically for structural geologists to analyze and visualize orientation data. It can plot both planar data, such as orientation measurements of faults, fractures, foliations, and bedding planes, as well as linear data like the plunge direction of fold hinges or lineations.

Key features of Stereonet 9 include:

• Interactive stereographic projection allowing visualization of orientation data sets
• Contouring tools to see density distributions and identify clusters or trends
• Range of statistical analysis tools including mean vector, eigenvectors, bootstrap confidence intervals etc.
• Ability to handle large datasets with tens of thousands of measurements
• Options to set reference frames and rotate data to account for tilt or plunge
• Export publication-quality plots
• Scriptable via Python to automate workflows

With its specialized toolset aimed specifically at working with orientation data in structural geology contexts, Stereonet 9 provides geologists with an efficient and intuitive software to help interpret the 3D geometry of geological structures from orientation measurements for research and field-based analysis.
