Based on the fact that the fractured zone in rock mass contains large numbers of tensile
cracks and these cracks can grow at different velocities under different loading patterns, the …

Field observations proved that tensile branches can be formed during fault growing and
contribute with other types of fractures in creating a fractured zone around dynamic faults. In …

We develop an approach for heat exchange between a fluid and a solid phase of a porous
medium where the temperatures of the fluid and matrix are not in thermal equilibrium. The …

Dynamic mantle flow and temperature models for the North Atlantic based on a regionalized
P‐wave and a global S‐wave tomography model were derived under the constraint of a …

New determinations of lateral crustal thickness variations at anomalous oceanic spreading
centres such as Iceland have shown that the crust may be thinner at the ridge axis above the …

The unique setting of Iceland, in the North Atlantic on top of the global mid-ocean ridge
system, has always attracted geoscientists to study and explore the island. These studies …
