{"name": "Stratigraphic Thickness", "package_name": "stratigraphic_thickness", "description": "Estimates the stratigraphic thickness of a sedimentary succession, with optional topographic correction using a DEM.", "about": "This plugin estimates the stratigraphic thickness (ST) of a succession using the classic field-geology traverse method, with an optional topographic correction: ST = d*sin(dip) + \u0394h*cos(dip), where d is the horizontal distance between the base and the top of the succession, \u0394h is their elevation difference, and dip is the dip of the strata. Elevation can be read from a DEM layer, entered manually, or skipped entirely for a quick flat-terrain estimate. Successive segments can be chained along a single traverse, each with its own dip, useful for successions with changes in dip. A dedicated (sub)horizontal mode handles beds with dip \u22645\u00b0 directly from the elevation difference. Any segment can be corrected afterwards by double-clicking it in the list, and the last clicked point can be undone with Backspace. This is an approximation: it assumes a continuous, undeformed succession, measured roughly perpendicular to the strike of the strata. Measuring across an entire folded or faulted succession gives meaningless results, but it works fine within a single fault-bounded block, or on the limb of a fold, as long as the strata keep a fairly constant strike and dip within that segment.", "homepage": "https://github.com/geoasier/stratigraphic_thickness", "repository": "https://github.com/geoasier/stratigraphic_thickness", "tracker": "https://github.com/geoasier/stratigraphic_thickness/issues", "author": "Asier Valenzuela", "tags": ["stratigraphy", "python", "thickness", "dem", "field geology", "structural geology", "outcrop"], "downloads": 867, "latest_version": "1.1", "versions": [{"version": "1.1", "experimental": false, "qgis_min": "3.0.0", "qgis_max": "3.99.0", "downloads": 75, "uploaded_by": "asiergeo", "upload_datetime": "2026-09-15T02:19:59.649687"}, {"version": "1.0", "experimental": true, "qgis_min": "3.0.0", "qgis_max": "3.99.0", "downloads": 797, "uploaded_by": "asiergeo", "upload_datetime": "2025-03-07T01:39:48.740645"}]}
