This chapter addresses methods for the remote detection and characterization of fractures in the subsurface. These indirect detection methods are mainly geophysical in nature and rely on the physical ...

At 90 kilometers down, continental mantle quakes break the textbook rule that mantle rock should flow rather than fracture
Earthquakes are fracturing solid rock nearly 90 kilometers beneath stable continental interiors, a depth where standard ...
1. Introduction -- 2. Stress -- 3. Displacement and strain -- 4. Relation between stress and strain -- 5. Loading of brittle rock to failure -- 6. Stress concentration -- 7. Theories of brittle ...
This image shows the variation in permeability in a network of fractures due to quartz dissolving in the fractures. Each plane represents an individual fracture in the network. Fractures are the main ...
Local planetary geologist Chris Okubo is on a mission to understand the past roles of groundwater and faulting on Mars by studying similar locations on Earth. Okubo works in the Astrogeology Research ...
Previous chapters have addressed fracture geometry, physical and geomechanical properties of single fractures, fracture detection, and the interpretation of hydraulic and tracer tests. All of these ...
