Dear all,
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to our session on ‘Quantifying the anisotropy of physical properties with relation to crustal settings’ (EMRP1.6/GD7.6/SM6.3) within the upcoming EGU conference in Vienna between the 23rd–28th April, 2017. In this session we aim to bring together researchers working on problems related to quantifying the anisotropy of physical properties, in a range of crustal environments and applications such as understanding gas and magma movement and hydrothermal systems at volcanoes or fluid pressure and damage evolution within fault zones.
Summary:
The directionality of linked physical properties such as elasticity, strength and permeability related to stresses, strains and pore pressures, makes crustal systems inherently complicated. Many of the most interesting rock behaviours derive from tensorial quantities, however our understanding of the linking maths and physics behind these quantities requires further improvement. A future goal must be to develop meaningful and testable methods and models that will allow us to quantify the relationships between these anisotropic, coupled variables in order to unravel the complex evolution and dynamics of the Earth’s crust.
We invite contributions that display experimental, field, numerical and/or geophysical monitoring techniques to measure and constrain three-dimensional anisotropic physical properties in crustal environments. We especially welcome studies that adopt novel approaches and combined methodologies.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries. We look forward to hearing from you!
Sorry for any cross postings.
All the best,
John Browning (Convenor)
