During the interseismic phase, faults regain frictional strength through a process commonly referred to as fault healing. Key mechanisms include contact welding by dissolution-precipitation creep and cementation by mineral precipitation in fluid-rich environments. While much research has focused on experimental investigations of silicate systems, e...
Worldwide, fault zones in carbonates regularly host medium to large earthquakes including recent ones in the Mediterranean and Middle East. In addition to that, faults can control fluid flow by either acting as a conduit or seal for fluid pathways and should be considered in e.g., geothermal exploration. Hence, understanding the (micro-) structural...
Exhumed metamorphic rocks from fossil subduction zones represent a unique source of information on the microscale deformation mechanisms and stress history within the seismogenic domain in subduction zones. Microstructural analysis of these rocks yields insight into processes operating on length and time scales generally inaccessible for active sys...
Phyllosilicates are generally regarded to have a reinforcing effect on chemical compaction by dissolution–precipitation creep (DPC) and thereby influence the evolution of hydraulic rock properties relevant to groundwater resources and geological repositories as well as fossil fuel reservoirs. We conducted oedometric compaction experiments on layere...
