Title
Automatic resolution of the three-points geological problem.
Abstract
The problem of three points, or 3P problem, is the basic geometrical reference of numerous geological structures. We propose a simple Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program that determines from three georeferenced points the strike and dip of the plane that contains them. Practical examples showing the application in Google Earth and LIDAR data are presented.
