Threats posed by the climate crisis have created an urgent need for sustainable green
energy. Geothermal resources have the potential to provide up to 150 GWe of sustainable …

The microstructure and mineralogy of volcanic rocks is varied and complex, and their
mechanical behaviour is similarly varied and complex. This review summarises recent …

The accuracy of elastic analytical solutions and numerical models, widely used in
volcanology to interpret surface ground deformation, depends heavily on the Young's …

Extension fractures in volcanic systems exist on all scales, from microscopic fractures to
large fissures. They play a fundamental role in the movement of fluids and distribution of …

The collapse of a volcanic flank can be destructive and deadly. Hydrothermal alteration is
common to volcanoes worldwide and is thought to promote volcano instability by decreasing …

The relationship between the static and dynamic elastic modulus in rock materials has been
frequently addressed in scientific literature. Overall, when it comes to the study of materials …

Volcanoes are unstable structures that deform laterally and frequently experience mass
wasting events. Hydrothermal alteration is often invoked as a mechanism that contributes …

Thermal stimulation is a reservoir enhancement technique that relies on the generation of
permeable fractures by thermal gradients. Replication of thermal stimulation in a controlled …

Hydrothermal fluids can alter the chemical and physical properties of the materials through
which they pass and can therefore modify the efficiency of fluid circulation. The role of …

The textural characteristics of rocks influence their petrophysical and mechanical properties.
Such parameters largely control rock mass stability. The ability to evaluate both immediate …
