Using Differential Geometry to Describe 3D Folds
  Methods are described to objectively characterizethe geometry of folds in 3-D. Two applications are reviewed for different fold types at different scales that formed in different tectonic settings.
   
Description of Laboratory Folds
  By applying differential geometry to analogue models developed by Grujic et al. (2002), we demonstrate that the geometry of such models can be completely and objectively quantified.
   
Description of Theoretical Folds
  Theoretical models of folded viscous layers are characterized using differential geometry and the effects of various loading conditions on fold geometry are examined.
