title = "Fractal-geometry techniques in the quantification of complex rock structures: A special view on scaling regimes, inhomogeneity and anisotropy",
abstract = "Fractal-geometry techniques are widely applied to the quantification of complex rock structures. Important properties of such structures are (i) different scaling behaviour on different scales, (ii) inhomogeneity, and (iii) anisotropy. The current paper presents a special view on the quantification of these properties by classical and newly developed fractal-geometry methods, discusses advantages and disadvantages of special methods and outlines the correlations between structure quantifications and rock properties and structure-forming processes, presented in the literature.",

note = "Funding Information: Thanks are due to Mark Peternell, Axel Gerik and Sabine Volland for years of fruitful cooperation, resulting in many findings presented in this paper, and to Cristian {\c S}u{\c t}eanu and Diego Perugini for their thoughtful comments on the manuscript. Katharina D{\"o}hler generated the data sets for Figs. 5 and 13 . Particularly, I am grateful to Tom Blenkinsop who suggested and stimulated the present work and provided hospitality, privately and at James Cook University, during several stays in Townsville. One of these stays was financially supported by an alumni grant of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation .",
