f Progresses in the exploration of structural uncertainties

This talk provides some motivations for generating multiple stochastic structural models and reviews recent trends in stochastic structural modelling methods. We discuss in particular the main advances and challenges to confront spatial data and structural concepts in cases where multiple structural scenarios with different numbers of faults and different fault connectivity mush be considered. We also propose a way to formulate the stochastic structural modelling problem and discuss its potential to manage many types of spatial observations, to integrate several types of structural concepts and to explore structural uncertainties in an organized way.
