This review summarizes recent advances in the area of tribology based on the outcome of a
Lorentz Center workshop surveying various physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena …

Large seismogenic faults consist of approximately meter-thick fault cores surrounded by
hundreds-of-meters-thick damage zones. Earthquakes are generated by rupture …

Exhumed fault zones offer insights into deformation processes associated with earthquakes
in unparalleled spatial resolution; however it can be difficult to differentiate seismic slip from …

Some faults are considered strong because their strength is consistent with the Coulomb
criterion under Byerlee's friction, 0.6< μ< 0.85. In marked contrast, numerous studies have …

Understanding the behavior of fluids in seismically active faults and their chemical-physical
(dis) equilibrium with the host rock is important to understand the role of fluids upon …

Recent friction experiments carried out under upper crustal P–T conditions have shown that
microstructures typical of high temperature creep develop in the slip zone of experimental …

The understanding of fault-slip behaviour in carbonates has an important societal impact
due to the widespread occurrence and propagation of earthquakes in these rocks. Fault rock …

We report ring shear experiments on simulated calcite fault gouges performed at fixed
temperatures (T) within the range from 20° C to 600° C. The experiments were performed …

Abstract The Heart Mountain landslide of northwest Wyoming is the largest known sub-aerial
landslide on Earth. During its emplacement more than 2000 km 3 of Paleozoic sedimentary …

Abstract Earthquakes in the Central Apennines of Italy generate extensive aftershock
sequences, with high-pressure CO2 often implicated as an important contributor to …
