This project explores the role of water in controlling geological processes such as plate tectonics and seismic activity. By conducting laboratory experiments, it aims to quantify the interactions between fluids and rocks, enhancing our understanding of fault dynamics and earthquake mechanisms.
The dynamics of the solid Earth, e.g., the initiation of plate tectonics, the strength of plate boundaries, and the formation and evolution of mountains, is directly controlled by the chemical and physical action of water.
In the shallow (brittle) part of the lithosphere, fluid pressure counteracts the lithostatic pressure and weakens faults.
At greater depth, the chemical activity of water makes rocks plastically weaker, and is also responsible for metamorphic reactions that induce weakening. F…
