The mathematical method called Plurigaussian Simulations was invented in France in the 1990s for simulating the internal architecture of oil reservoirs. It rapidly proved useful in other domains in the earth sciences: mining, hydrology and history matching. In this chapter we use complex dynamic networks first developed in statistical mechanics to track the diffusion of the method within academia, using citation data from Google Scholar. Since governments and funding agencies want to know whether ideas developed in research projects have a positive effect on the economy, we also studied how plurigaussian simulations diffused from academia to industry. The literature on innovation usually focusses on patents but as there were few on plurigaussian simulations, we needed criteria for deciding whether an innovation had been adopted by industry. Three criteria were identified:• Repeat co-authorship. Many published papers were co-authored by mining or oil companies, or by consulting firms. While this demonstrates interest from industry, in some cases it seemed to be "window-shopping" but companies that continued to publish on this topic (i.e. "repeat co-authors") had clearly adopted the method. • Specialized training. Companies that wanted to build-up inhouse competency, sent their personnel for postgraduate training or to specialized short courses. • Bringing in consultants. Rather than investing the time and effort in building up competency in-house, other companies got studies carried out by consulting firms.The second criterion revealed how important master's level courses are in training geoscientists in the latest techniques. Their role in transferring knowledge to industry is undervalued in current procedures for evaluating university departments.

The Yangmaba Formation of latest Early Devonian age in the Longmenshan area of Sichuan Province, China, is a shelfal facies that consists of four types of carbonate-siliciclastic deposits: clay-rich, siliciclastic sand-rich, carbonate-dominated, and hybrid mixed. Storm deposits vary in their thickness, composition, and abundance-per-meter within these mixed carbonate-siliciclastic deposits. Meter-scale statistics of the relative storm frequency (events-per-meter) and magnitude (bed thickness) were compiled in two coeval sections through each of the hybrid facies in the lower Yangmaba Formation, which spans approximately the entire conodont Polygnathus patulus Zone of the uppermost Emsian Stage. Low-pass filtering, spectral analysis, and Acycle software interpretation of these tempestite statistics yield 3.5 main oscillations in each section, with an average wavelength of ∼23 m. These long-wavelength trends are semi-coincident with interpreted long-term variations in sea level, where shallower depths allowed a greater influence by storms. Superimposed on the long-wavelength cycles are medium-wavelength cycles of 5.5−6.3 m. The estimated ∼1.5 m.y. time-span of this conodont zone of the lower Yangmaba Formation and the approximate 1:4 ratios of these wavelengths indicate that frequency and intensity of major storms and the recording of tempestites in the sedimentary record were modulated by ∼100- and 95-k.y.-short-eccentricity orbital-climate oscillations superimposed on a main 405-k.y.-long-eccentricity cycle. These eccentricity climate cycles governed storm intensity and regional sea level on this margin of the tropical Yangtze Platform of South China.
