As a structural geologist working in mines in Canada, I realised that very small structures can show what is happening on the large scale (fractals). Once in a lunch room at the Holt Gold mine I saw a small set of breaks and stuctures which beautifully mimicked what was hapening on a much larger, ore body scale.

I spent a total of 10 years of my younger life based in Geneva, so was frequently in the Haute Savoie. About that time I started to wonder, what rocks and why. Have learnt a lot more about geology since then. What a glorious part of Europe.

Great little lesson there, Rob - thank you! Took me quite a bit of time, when I started my PhD project, to realize how complex some structures, indicated as just one linear fault in maps, really were…

Thanks. Yes of course - likely that geometries change along lengths of faults/fault zones but difficult to demonstrate in outcrops/boulders. Better seen in mine or multiple-surveyed working quarries for directly observable fault geometries....

Thank you for making the video and making it available. I worked on seismic boats for over fifteen years as a mechanic, occasionaly a geo would tell me what it was about. Deep seismic shallow seismic, reflection, refraction, hard rock reflection or soft shale like, gas/oil no or little reflection. Looking for no response, trisponder positioning, boat speed 4 knts, pop time 6 secs. Ambient air, sea temp', temp changes day/night weather, compressed air temp, compressor temp, volume, flow. Things change. Just about to start a line when it was abandoned - the anotator didn't work. The 20 to 30 yr olds in the recording room didn't know that we used to use a pencil to write on the first trace the same as the annotator now did. Years before all the electronic bods had plastic tweaking screwdrivers + an array of tools in their pockets including a variety of pens and pencils and the DMM, now not a pencil to be seen, nothing in the operators pockets. The recording room went from a large room with 4 or more on watch to a knee hole desk with 2 operators on 12 hrs each. Last time I was at sea was off Thailand in the early 90s. Now 34 yrs ago. Early ninties downturn in the industry. On the phone to a company in KL, new manager asked me for recent relevant certificates, after enquiring I could not get one of the three later mentioned to me. New kid on the block wants certificates. Never mind the 20 + years working at sea. Well I was in my late 40s so I'd had a good run at it. Mostly good memories. Thanks again for the vid' good to have things explained in a way that can be absorbed.

Thanks for sharing those memories and reflections (as it were). I'm a fan of paper and pencil - to get rapid first pass understanding (even qualitative) of things.... relying on digital alone can (often?) lead to big errors...

Hello, I have a question about the three-point method. How can we apply it when geological boundaries aren't completely planar? Are there any modifications for these cases?
@robbutler2095
@robbutler2095 14 күн бұрын
Thanks for the question. To solve more complex geometries you'd need more information - such as the inclination of the boundary in the well(s) or measurements of the orientation (e.g. strike). But if you have multiple wells/points of information, there's lots more you can do - contouring up the boundary.... including breaking the surface up into a lot of triangles ... but remember - all such solutions are interpretations and therefore have inherent assumptions and uncertainties...
