Microtectonics deals with the interpretation of microstructures, small-scale deformation
structures in rocks that yield abundant information on the history and type of deformation and …

The abundance of the doubly substituted CO2 isotopologue, 13C18O16O, in CO2 produced
by phosphoric acid digestion of synthetic, inorganic calcite and natural, biogenic aragonite is …

Temperature is a major factor affecting physical and mechanical rock properties. With
increasing temperature, a series of variations enlarge the internal defects within rocks …

An intrinsic property of polycrystalline materials is the orientation distribution of crystallites. In
some cases this distribution is random, yet often there is preferred orientation of crystallites …

Engineering problems associated with high-temperature rock, such as the deep disposal of
high-level radioactive nuclear waste, underground gasification and storage of coal …

The Himalayan orogen represents a “Composite Orogenic System” in which channel flow,
wedge extrusion, and thrust stacking operate in separate “Orogenic Domains” with distinct …

Résumé Although they are famous among Earth scientists, the Lherz peridotites are
exposed within geological formations of the North Pyrenean Zone (NPZ) still lacking detailed …

Our concept of progressive rock slope failures is on the one hand embedded in aggregated
subcritical crack growth mechanisms and on the other sensitive to environmental conditions …

We describe the structure, microstructures, texture and paleopiezometry of quartz-rich
phyllites and marbles along N-trending Moutsounas shear zone at the eastern margin of the …

Abstract Carrara Marble, from Italy, probably one of the most famous dimension stones in the
collective memory and in ordinary people, is here nominated as a suitable 'Global Heritage …
