Studies of rates, processes and modes of rock surface, and near-surface, deterioration, and
also hardening, are central to rock weathering and building stone research, conservation …

Damage zones of different fault types are investigated in siliciclastics (Utah, USA),
carbonates (Majella Mountain, Italy) and metamorphic rocks (western Norway). The study …

Large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2) should be injected in deep saline formations to
mitigate climate change, implying geomechanical challenges that require further …

We studied the geometry and petrophysical properties of fault core and damage zones of a
deformation band fault zone in the arkosic sandstones of the Cretaceous Antenor Navarro …

Fault core accommodates intense deformation in the form of slip surfaces and fault rocks
such as fault gouge, cataclasite, breccia, lenses, shale smear, and diagenetic features. The …

Analyzing the factors that affect the fault damage zone parameters and the impact of
deformation on host rock permeability is fundamental for predicting the fluid flow behavior in …

This study shows how mechanical stratigraphy influences deformation bands' structural
attributes in faulted, heterolithic arkosic sandstones in the Rio do Peixe Basin, northeastern …

In permeability modeling of fault damage zones affecting porous sandstones, deformation
bands are commonly considered low-permeability structures that influence fluid flow …

Abstract Evaluation of carbonate heterogeneity, closely related to pore geometry and
connectivity, is important in oil and gas field production and reservoir prediction. To …

Recent field-based studies document the presence of bed-parallel compaction bands within
the Oligocene-Miocene carbonates of Bolognano Formation exposed at the Majella …
