Mapping Shearlines: Unveiling Deformation Zones using Python in Earth Science
Software & ProgrammingShear Zones: When Rocks Get Stressed, Python Steps In Shear zones. Ever heard of them? They’re basically the earth’s wrinkles – zones where the crust gets seriously crunched and twisted. Think of them as nature’s stress balls, areas where rocks undergo some major league deformation. For us earth scientists, they’re like goldmines of information. They
