A number of results useful for a range of geological assessments can emerge from structural restoration. These include validation of interpretation, prediction of unseen structures and horizons geometries, estimation of extension and shortening, quantification of uplift and erosion, and construction of paleo-topographic and paleo-bathymetric maps. Additionally, restoration can be used to simulate geomechanical properties such as the distribution of stress and strain. | A number of results useful for a range of geological assessments can emerge from structural restoration.
