Surface roughness ubiquitously prevails in natural faults across various length scales.
Despite extensive studies highlighting the important role of fault geometry in the dynamics of …

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical technology for mitigating greenhouse gas
emissions and combating climate change. CCS involves capturing CO2 emissions from …

Fluids are naturally present in the crust from subsoil to several kilometers deep. The
representation of the Earth's crust as a purely elastic medium ignores the effects of fluids …

We explore the impacts of stress-and fluid-pressure-driven frictional slip on variably
roughened faults in Gonghe granite (Qinghai Province, China). Slip is on an inclined fault …

Injection-induced seismicity has become one of the most critical challenges for the
widespread deployment of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). In particular, some EGS …

As coal mining depth and structural complexity increase, the failure severity of mining-
induced fault activation leading to rock bursts escalates. Fault fracture zones, consisting of …

We investigate the propagation of fluid-driven fault slip on a slip-weakening frictional
interface separating two identical half-spaces of a three-dimensional elastic solid. Our focus …

In August of 2020, an earthquake sequence initiated within the Maacama fault zone in
northern California, raising questions about its relationship with the larger‐scale fault. To …

We present a series of controlled fluid injection experiments in the laboratory on a pre‐
stressed natural rough fracture with a high initial permeability (∼ 10− 13 m2) in granite …

The permeability of fault zones plays a significant role on the distribution of georesources
and on seismogenesis in the brittle upper crust, where both natural and induced seismicity …
