Abstract:Abstract. We investigate the spatial variation of 2D fracture networks digitized from the well-known Lilstock limestone pavements, Bristol Channel, UK. By treating fracture networks as spatial graphs, we utilize a novel approach combining graph similarity measures and hierarchical clustering to identify spatial clusters within fracture networks and quantify spatial variation. We use four graph similarity measures: fingerprint distance, D-measure, NetLSD, and portrait divergence to compare fracture graphs. The … Show more
