Numerical Methods Numerical recognition of alignments in monogenetic volcanic areas: Examples from the Michoacán-Guanajuato Volcanic Field in Mexico and Calatrava in Spain. J.M. Cebriá, C. Martín-Escorza, J. López-Ruiz, D.J. Morán-Zenteno, B.M. Martiny Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 201 (2011) pages

Early Research Average orientations of nearby cones (Kear 1964) Density mapping of cones (Porter 1972) Statistical analysis based on nearest- neighbour and quadrant methods (Tinkler 1971)

(1) Spatial Transform methods (Wadge and Cross 1988) (2) Azimuth methods (Lutz 1986) (3) Strip methods (Zhang and Lutz 1989) Steve Taylor and Jeff Templeton

Limitations (1) Spatial Transform methods (Wadge and Cross 1988) Simulates human visual capability (2) Azimuth methods (Lutz 1986) Dependent on shape of study area (3) Strip methods (Zhang and Lutz 1989) Fails to address small scale features

Location Maps Michoacán-Guanajuato Volcanic Field, Mexico (Arc magmatism) Calatrava, Spain (Intraplate magmatism)

Distance Between Vents MGVF (skewness 0.51) Calatrava (skewness not given)

Lineaments of lines shorter than one third of one standard deviation below mean MGVF lines less than 12 kmCalatrava lines less than 5 km

Random Lineaments skewness 0.26

Caution ! “Straight application of quantitative methods to identify possible alignments in the geological record may produce mathematically acceptable results but also meaningless from a geological point of view. To avoid this, any attempt at numerical recognition of alignments resulting from a geological process should be supported by field observations.”
