Regional Tectonic Analysis & Data Integration

GRL has extensive experience of structural geology and regional tectonics, based on 20 years of fieldwork across five continents, and commercial projects spanning most of the world's petroleum provinces. We are experts in the synthesis and analysis of regional tectonics, and the GIS-based integration of satellite, aerial, map and sub-surface datasets.

GIS-based projects, synthesis of regional tectonics, integration of surface and sub-surface data, analysis of aerial and satellite data, multi-scale models incorporating regional to outcrop-scale data.

GIS has revolutionised the way that different types of data can be combined into a single environment for further geological analysis. We are experts at integrating surface and sub-surface geological data together with satellite and aerial imagery, to provide syntheses of multi-scale information from continental scale down to the outcrop.

Examples of typical project deliverables include:

• Sequential plate reconstructions showing the tectonic development of an area in relation to regional or globalplate kinematics

• Crustal-scale tectonic cross-sections

• Petroleum system schematics in relation to regional structure

• Integrated GIS datasets combining surface and sub-surface data

• Multi-scale models showing outcrop data within a regional tectonic context

• Interpretative palaeo-geographics, contour maps, depth maps etc.

• Analysis and interpretation of geospatial data (e.g. satellite and aerial imagery)

• ... and many others.
