CommonPlane.xlsm: Calculates the strike and dip of a
structural plane given two linear attitudes (not colinear) that lie in the
plane. The results are presented in text and stereographic form. Can also
be used to solve apparent dip problems where the strike of a plane is
known, an apparent dip trend and plunge on the plane is known, and the true
dip is required.

CommonPlane_cotan.xlsm: Calculates the strike and dip of
a structural plane given two linear attitudes (not colinear) that lie in
the plane. Uses the cotangent method and requires visual interaction with
user to calculate a solution. Can be used to construct and submit for lab
grade.

CommonPlane2_cotan.xlsm: Calculates the true dip of a
structural plane given (1) strike azimuth, and (2) an apparent dip trend
and plunge that lies in the plane. Uses the cotangent method and requires
visual interaction with user to calculate a solution. Can be used to
construct and submit for lab grade.

ThreePoint.xlsm: Calculates the strike and dip of a
structural plane that contains 3 points of known location and elevation.
Also calculates the hydraulic gradient if the 3 points are water table
elevations. Can be used to construct and submit for lab grade.

IntersectingPlanes.xlsm: Calculates the plunge and bearing
of the intersection of 2 planar structures.

|
IntersectingPlanes_cot.xlsx: uses the cotangent method
to solve for the apparent dip angle given (1) the strike and dip of a
plane, and (2) the trend direction of the apparent dip. Requires visual
interaction with user for a solution. Can be used to construct and submit
for lab grade.

IntersectingPlanes2_cot.xlsx: uses the cotangent method
to solve for the true dip angle given a strike azimuth, and the trend and
plunge of an apparent dip. Requires visual interaction from the user.

|
|
IntersectingPlanes3_cot.xlsx: uses the cotangent method
to solve for the trend and plunge of the line of intersection between two
structural planes given the two strike and dip attitudes. Requires visual
interaction from the user.

Rotation.xlsm: Calculates the new orientation of a line
given a starting orientation, a rotational axis orientation, and the amount
and sense of rotation. The algorithm may also be used to find the rotated
orientation of a structural plane if the orientation of the pole to the
plane is used as the starting orientation.

SCslip.xlsm: Calculates the orientation of the slip
vector given the attitude of the S and C planes measured from an S/C mylonite zone.
|
|

|
|
SphericalRotation.xlsm: Calculates the new geodetic
position of a point on Earth given the starting geodetic coordinates (latitude/longitude),
and the geodetic coordinates of the rotation axis, and the amount and sense
of the rotation. This algorithm is typically used to track tectonic plate
position over time given an absolute pole of rotation.

Alidade_Datasheet.xlsm: reduces data taken with a
standard alidade (stadia intercept, crosshair, vertical angle) and converts
to the vertical and horizontal offset from the instrument base position.
