Fault zones and fault systems have a key role in the development of the Earth's crust. They
control the mechanics and fluid flow properties of the crust, and the architecture of …

In the upper crust, where hydraulic gradients are typically< 1 MPa km− 1, advective heat
transport is often effective for permeabilities k≥ 10− 16 m² and advective mass (solute) …

Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) testing of Hawkesbury sandstone was carried out at
various temperatures between 25 and 950° C to explore the mechanical response of the …

In orogenic belts, the common spatial and temporal association of granites with crustal-scale
shear-zone systems suggests melt transfer from source to upper crust was the result of a …

The number of underground tunnels used for transportation has markedly increased globally
during the past decade. This has resulted in an increased number of tunnel fire incidents …

The obstruction to fluid flow formed by the rocks overlying a metamorphic devolatilization
front causes the fluid pressure gradient in the reacting rocks to diverge from lithostatic. This …

Coupled thermal‐mechanical models are used to investigate interactions between
metamorphism, deformation and exhumation in large convergent orogens, and the …

In rock design projects, a number of mechanical properties are frequently employed,
particularly unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and deformation (E). The researchers …

The Monviso ophiolite Lago Superiore Unit constitutes a well-preserved, almost continuous
upper fragment of oceanic lithosphere subducted at c. 80km depth, thereby providing a …

Segments of the root to the Caledonian collision zone are exposed along the west coast of
Norway, allowing the study of processes and petrophysical conditions at the deepest crustal …
