The fractal analysis software makes it feasible to map the variable dimensions of complexity in linear geologic features.
Dr. Milt Wiltse and his colleagues at the University of Alaska Fairbanks' Geographic Information of Alaska have developed software tools for mineral exploration efforts.
The software analyzes existing maps of known mineral occurrence locations and geologic features to find areas that are favorable for mineral exploration.
The software is available under license, and the inventor is interested in cooperative research agreements to advance the development of the mineral exploration software.
