and analyze the orientation of slickensides (or striae) on a fault plane,
circular statistical methods are common in paleomagnetic studies, and
microstructural investigations include the analysis of grain shapes and
quartz c-axis orientations in thin sections.
Some of these methods of data analysis require the application of numerical
methods such as interpolation techniques. While the following text deals
mainly with statistical techniques it also introduces several numerical
methods commonly used in earth sciences.
