RAFTER was a collaborative effort with Department of Geology at TCU to meet the requirements of the TCU Computer Science Department Senior Capstone Project. RAFTER is an acronym for a bunch of geological terms so simply speaking it is software for the geological analysis of river stream data. The team worked closely with a client, Nicole Wilson who is a Geology graduate student at TCU and her advisor Dr. Holbrook. The project ultimately aimed to increase the accessibility of the Fulcrum Theory Methodology and Calculations, which was theorized by Dr. Holbrook. The team created a web-based application supported by a database that allows a user to input data and receive results as well as explore more information provided about specific streams. Geologists will be able to use this application for the calculations, to find analogue streams or ultimately to study sediment deposits and identify fluvial sand reservoir rock which can contain oil and natural gas deposits.
The Project
A web-based application with three modules that the user can access to enter data and have returned to them relevant stream information. The website can be reached using the RAFTER application tab at the top of the page.
