University college Stereographic projection is a powerful method for solving geometric problems in structural geology. Unlike structure contouring and other map-based techniques, it preserves only the orientation of lines and planes with no ability to preserve position relationships. However, it is extremely useful, as orientation problems are very common in structural geology. Stereographic projection is a popular method used by crystallographers as a tool for representing variations in
