With their milestone article in Journal of Structural Geology (Fossen and Tikoff, 1993) and its companion article in Tectonophysics (Tikoff and Fossen, 1993), the authors marked a step forward for the quantification of strain in the deep crust. These articles popularized a new approach, the deformation matrix. An easy solution to quantify strain in finite geological systems is to find continuous ...[Read More]
