Forecasting the time of failure of landslides at slope-scale is a difficult yet important task that
can mitigate the effects of slope failures in terms of both human lives and economic losses …

Rock fracture under upper crustal conditions is driven not only by applied stresses, but also
by time-dependent, chemically activated subcritical cracking processes. These subcritical …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

This work constructs a fracture mechanics framework for conceptualizing mechanical rock
breakdown and consequent regolith production and erosion on the surface of Earth and …

The acoustic emission (AE) location technique is used to characterize the entire progressive
failure process of rock with preexisting cracks. The mechanical properties, AE …

The characterization of time‐dependent brittle rock deformation is fundamental to
understanding the long‐term evolution and dynamics of the Earth's crust. The chemical …

In this article we craft process‐specific algorithms that capture climate control of hillslope
evolution in order to elucidate the legacy of past climate on present critical zone architecture …

Time-dependent brittle deformation is a fundamental and pervasive process operating in the
Earth's upper crust. Its characterization is a pre-requisite to understanding and unraveling …

Since underground structures such as tunnels are inevitably surrounded by rocks, their long-
term safety and stability are primarily governed by the comportment of these materials. Being …

One way to probe the rheology of the lithosphere and fault zones is to analyze the temporal
evolution of deformation following a large earthquake. In such a case, the lithosphere …
