Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

As evident by the summaries presented in the various chapters in this volume, the past few
years have witnessed extraordinary advances in the ability to integrate equations describing …

We show that seismic shear waves may be used to monitor the in situ stress state of deep
inaccessible rocks in the crust. The most widespread manifestation of the stress-related …

Zircon in greenschist-facies metasedimentary rocks from the Scottish Highlands displays a
range of complex textures that reflect low-temperature alteration of original detrital grains. In …

Between 2005 and 2014 in Pennsylvania, about 4000 Marcellus wells were drilled
horizontally and hydraulically fractured for natural gas. During the flowback period after …

This experimental work aims at studying the influence of temperature on mechanical
behaviour and poro-mechanical properties of an oolitic limestone from Anstrude, France …

The permeability of intact Barre granite is determined by conducting transient hydraulic
pulse tests that induce radial flow in saturated granite cylinders containing a water-filled co …

This experimental investigation focuses on a mortar heated/cooled up to 105, 200, 300 or
400° C. The reference state for the material corresponds to mass stabilization at 60° C oven …

Zircon of crustal origin found in mantle-derived rocks is of great interest because of the
information it may provide about crust recycling and mantle dynamics. Consideration of this …

Zircon derived from crustal rocks can survive dissolution into hot basalts during magma
hybridization and rock assimilation if it is shielded as an inclusion phase in early-formed …
