This project aims to develop new rheological laws for rocks by combining advanced nanomechanical testing with numerical modeling. By focusing on olivine, a key mineral in the Earth's mantle, it seeks to provide a better understanding of geological processes like plate tectonics and mantle convection.
Most large-scale geological process such as plate tectonics or mantle convection involve plastic deformation of rocks.
With most recent developments, constraining their rheological properties at natural strain-rates is something we can really achieve in the decade to come.
Presently, these theological properties are described with empirical equations which are fitted on macroscopic, average properties, obtained in laboratory experiments performed at human timescales.
Their extrapolation to Eart…
