The tectonic history of New Zealand

“…Lineations normal to the direction of movement have been observed by Sander (1930) and Schmidt (1924) (see also King, 1956). In the writer's opinion, both observations are correct, and transport either parallel or normal to the b~a%is has to be taken into account.…”

“…Sander (1930), Billings (1954), Fairbairn (1949), Turner and Verhoogen (1951), Turner (1940b) limited the b-axis of the strain ellipsoid to parallelism with fold axes and often with lineation, the a-axis was perpendicular to the b-axis in plane of movement, and the c-axis perpendicular to the ab plane. Disagreement, however, still exists with regard to the lineations, the problem being with what axis of the strain ellipsoid the lineations should coincide.…”

Descriptive tools for the analysis of texture projects with large datasets using MTEX : strength, symmetry and components

“…The theoretical connection between symmetry and material properties has been studied for nearly 120 years (Curie 1894); CPO is no exception. With seminal work in Earth sciences published by Sander (1930) In Earth sciences the preoccupation has been the study of pole figures, which are well adapted for c[001]-axes with a multiplicity of 1 and hence to the eigen analysis using the orientation tensor T introduced above. Various symmetry-related characteristics have been proposed using the orthogonal eigenvalues of the orientation tensor T. These include the shape characteristic K = ln(l 1 /l 2 )/ (ln(l 2 /l 3 ) of Woodcock (1977) and the fabric symmetry characteristics of Vollmer (1990): point maxima P = l 1 − l 2 ; girdle G = 2(l 2 − l 3 ); and random R = 3l 3 .…”

Evaluation of Kubiëna’s contribution to micropedology. At the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of his book “Micropedology”

“…His concepts of soil fabric were influenced by the work of his countryman Sander (1930Sander ( , translated in 1970 founder of the fabric analysis of rocks. Kubiëna's book does not contain sharply formulated definitions, as is usual now, but clear statements that allow the reader to use and develop the concepts.…”
