Resumen

We present a series of software tools for the automation of cross section construction fromdigital geological map data and corresponding digital elevation models. Our approach integrates surfacedata into a 3D environment and involves three fundamental toolboxes: 1) a near-surface cross-sectionprojection and preparation toolbox, 2) a kink-method constructor, 3) a forward modeling toolboxfor fault-related folding. The programs are written using Matlab© (MathWorks Inc), and can be fullyautomated or operated in an interactive mode.
