EGU 2014. Thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling and physical properties: implications for natural hazards************************************************************************************************
Dear All,
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the session
“Thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling and physical properties: implications for
natural hazards” (EMRP1.2) at the next EGU general assembly in Vienna
(27April-02May 2014).
Session description:
Natural hazards events such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions involve
activation of coupled thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical processes in rocks.
Understanding these dynamic coupled processes is therefore of key importance
in elucidating our comprehension of earthquakes and volcanic unrests and
essential for the mitigation of seismic and volcanic hazard. Rock physics
experiments and numerical models can help us to understand and constrain the
mechanisms of natural hazards from the micro to the macro scale. In
particular, a good understanding of the physical role of the temperature in
the deformation processes is of crucial importance for crustal deformations.
We invite novel contributions based on laboratory experiments, numerical
modeling and field work (or a combination of these) relative to the
understanding of:
1) Fault evolution in the interseismic period, including healing, and
sealing processes,
2) Rupture and frictional processes: experiments and modeling,
3) Rock deformation and coupled processes in rocks,
4) Fault structure and mechanics, from the field and laboratory to
exploratory drilling of major faults,
5) Fracture and flow in volcanic and geothermal areas and the physical
properties of volcanic rocks
Abstract submission is open until January 16, 2014, 13.00CET
Thank you for considering this session and we are looking forward to seeing
you in Vienna next spring.
