Thermo‐poro‐mechanics of chemically active creeping faults. 1: Theory and steady state considerationsJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth - Tập 119 Số 6 - Trang 4558-4582 - 2014
Sotiris Alevizos, Thomas Poulet, Manolis Veveakis
AbstractIn this paper, we study the behavior of a fluid‐saturated fault under
shear, based on the assumption that the material inside exhibits rate‐ and
temperature‐dependent frictional behavior. A creeping fault of this type can
produce excess heat due to shear heating, reaching temperatures which are high
enough to trigger endothermic chemical reactions. We focus on fluid‐release
reactions and i... hiện toàn bộ
Thermo‐poro‐mechanics of chemically active creeping faults: 2. Transient considerationsJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth - Tập 119 Số 6 - Trang 4583-4605 - 2014
Manolis Veveakis, Thomas Poulet, Sotiris Alevizos
AbstractThis work studies the transient behavior of a chemically active,
fluid‐saturated fault zone under shear. These fault zones are displaying a
plethora of responses spanning from ultrafast instabilities, like thermal
pressurization, to extremely slow creep localization events on geological
timescales. These instabilities can be described by a single model of a
rate‐dependent and thermally dep... hiện toàn bộ
Upscaling of Elastic Properties in Carbonates: A Modeling Approach Based on a Multiscale Geophysical Data SetJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth - Tập 124 Số 12 - Trang 13021-13038 - 2019
Cédric Bailly, J. Fortin, M. Adelinet, Youri Hamon
AbstractLinking ultrasonic measurements made on samples, with sonic logs and
seismic subsurface data, is a key challenge for the understanding of carbonate
reservoirs. To deal with this problem, we investigate the elastic properties of
dry lacustrine carbonates. At one study site, we perform a seismic refraction
survey (100 Hz), as well as “sonic” (54 kHz) and ultrasonic (250 kHz)
measurements dir... hiện toàn bộ
The effects of magma flux variations on the formation and lifetime of large silicic magma chambersJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth - Tập 118 Số 3 - Trang 926-942 - 2013
Anne Schöpa, Catherine Annen
Incremental emplacement of large silicic intrusions limits the size and lifetime
of any magma chamber if earlier injected magma pulses solidify before the next
pulse is emplaced. Geochronology indicates that long‐term average magma fluxes
of plutons are too low for the accumulation of magma volumes larger than a
single pulse. To better constrain the formation of large‐volume magma chambers,
we inv... hiện toàn bộ
Fracture toughness anisotropy in shaleJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth - Tập 121 Số 3 - Trang 1706-1729 - 2016
Michael Chandler, P. G. Meredith, Nicolas Brantut, Brian Crawford
AbstractThe use of hydraulic fracturing to recover shale gas has focused
attention on the fundamental fracture properties of gas‐bearing shales, but
there remains a paucity of available experimental data on their mechanical and
physical properties. Such shales are strongly anisotropic, so that their
fracture propagation trajectories depend on the interaction between their
anisotropic mechanical pr... hiện toàn bộ
Understanding the Geodetic Signature of Large Aquifer Systems: Example of the Ozark Plateaus in Central United StatesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth - Tập 127 Số 3 - 2022
Stacy Larochelle, Kristel Chanard, Luce Fleitout, J. Fortin, Adriano Gualandi, Laurent Longuevergne, Paul Rebischung, Sophie Violette, Jean‐Philippe Avouac
AbstractThe continuous redistribution of water involved in the hydrologic cycle
leads to deformation of the solid Earth. On a global scale, this deformation is
well explained by the loading imposed by hydrological mass variations and can be
quantified to first order with space‐based gravimetric and geodetic
measurements. At the regional scale, however, aquifer systems also undergo
poroelastic defo... hiện toàn bộ
The breakup of East Gondwana: Assimilating constraints from Cretaceous ocean basins around India into a best‐fit tectonic modelJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth - Tập 118 Số 3 - Trang 808-822 - 2013
A. Gibbons, Joanne M. Whittaker, R. Dietmar Müller
AbstractPublished models for the Cretaceous seafloor‐spreading history of East
Gondwana result in unlikely tectonic scenarios for at least one of the plate
boundaries involved and/or violate particular constraints from at least one of
the associated ocean basins. We link East Gondwana spreading corridors by
integrating magnetic and gravity anomaly data from the Enderby Basin off East
Antarctica wi... hiện toàn bộ
Early India‐Australia spreading history revealed by newly detected Mesozoic magnetic anomalies in the Perth Abyssal PlainJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth - Tập 118 Số 7 - Trang 3275-3284 - 2013
Simon Williams, Joanne M. Whittaker, Roi Granot, R. Dietmar Müller
AbstractThe seafloor within the Perth Abyssal Plain (PAP), offshore Western
Australia, is the only section of crust that directly records the early
spreading history between India and Australia during the Mesozoic breakup of
Gondwana. However, this early spreading has been poorly constrained due to an
absence of data, including marine magnetic anomalies and data constraining the
crustal nature of ... hiện toàn bộ
The Tectonic origin of the Bay of Bengal and BangladeshJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth - Tập 121 Số 7 - Trang 4836-4851 - 2016
Manik Talwani, M. Desa, M. Ismaiel, K. S. Krishna
AbstractWe are able to decipher the tectonic evolution of the Bay of Bengal, a
puzzle which has not been satisfactorily solved in the past, and we are also
able to shed new light on origin of the buried 85°E Ridge. We do so by
incorporating a number of disparate items into a unified solution. These items
are the marine magnetic anomalies in the Western Basin of the Bay of Bengal, the
Rajmahal and ... hiện toàn bộ
