Integration of regional to outcrop digital data: 3D visualisation of multi-scale geological models (2009)
Journal Article
Jones, R., McCaffrey, K., Clegg, P., Wilson, R., Holliman, N., Holdsworth, R., …Waggott, S. (2009). Integration of regional to outcrop digital data: 3D visualisation of multi-scale geological models. Computers and Geosciences, 35(1), 4-18. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cageo.2007.09.007

Multi-scale geological models contain three-dimensional, spatially referenced data, typically spanning at least six orders of magnitude from outcrop to regional scale. A large number of different geological and geophysical data sources can be combine...

Unlocking the spatial dimension: digital technologies and the future of geoscience fieldwork (2005)
Journal Article
McCaffrey, K., Jones, R., Holdsworth, R., Wilson, R., Clegg, P., Imber, J., …Trinks, I. (2005). Unlocking the spatial dimension: digital technologies and the future of geoscience fieldwork. Journal of the Geological Society, 162(6), 927-938. https://doi.org/10.1144/0016-764905-017

The development of affordable digital technologies that allow the collection and analysis of georeferenced field data represents one of the most significant changes in field-based geoscientific study since the invention of the geological map. Digital... Read More about Unlocking the spatial dimension: digital technologies and the future of geoscience fieldwork.

Putting the geology back into Earth models (2005)
Journal Article
McCaffrey, K., Holdsworth, R., Imber, J., Clegg, P., De Paola, N., Jones, R., …Trinks, I. (2005). Putting the geology back into Earth models. Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 86(46), 461-466. https://doi.org/10.1029/2005eo460001

New digital methods for data capture can now provide photorealistic, spatially precise, and geometrically accurate three-dimensional (3-D) models of rocks exposed at the Earth's surface [Xu et al., 2000; Pringle et al., 2001; Clegg et al., 2005]. The... Read More about Putting the geology back into Earth models.

Scale dependence, strain compatibility and heterogeneity of three-dimensional deformation during mountain building: a discussion (2005)
Journal Article
Jones, R., Holdsworth, R., McCaffrey, K., Clegg, P., & Tavarnelli, E. (2005). Scale dependence, strain compatibility and heterogeneity of three-dimensional deformation during mountain building: a discussion. Journal of Structural Geology, 27(7), 1190-1204. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsg.2005.04.001

Plate motion at convergent margins causes crustal shortening and orogenic thickening. Relative motion that is oblique to the plate margins is an inevitable consequence of plate kinematics on a sphere and results in non-coaxial three-dimensional defor...

Inclined transpression (2004)
Journal Article
Jones, R., Holdsworth, R., Clegg, P., McCaffrey, K., & Tavarnelli, E. (2004). Inclined transpression. Journal of Structural Geology, 26(8), 1531-1548. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsg.2004.01.004

Inclined transpression can be defined in terms of simultaneous contraction and strike-slip and dip-slip shearing, and is illustrated here using a strain triangle in which the apices represent the three strain components. Strain matrix modelling shows... Read More about Inclined transpression.
