Growth of stylolite teeth patterns depends on normal stress and finite compaction
Daniel Koehn, François Renard, Renaud Toussaint +1
Stylolites are spectacular rough dissolution surfaces that are found in many rock types. Despite many studies, their genesis is still debated, particularly the time scales of their…
Influence of time, temperature, confining pressure and fluid content on the experimental compaction of spherical grains
Magali Rossi, Olivier Vidal, Bernd Wunder +1
Theoretical models of compaction processes, such as for example intergranular pressure-solution (IPS), focus on deformation occurring at the contacts between spherical grains that…
Numerical modeling of carbon dioxide sequestration on the rate of pressure solution creep in limestone: Preliminary results
Francois Renard, Elisabeth Gundersen, Roland Hellmann +2
When carbon dioxide (CO2) is injected into an aquifer or a depleted geological reservoir, its dissolution into solution results in acidification of the pore waters. As a consequenc…
Thermal imaging on simulated faults during frictional sliding
Karen Mair, François Renard, Olav Gundersen
Heating during frictional sliding is a major component of the energy budget of earthquakes and represents a potential weakening mechanism. It is therefore important to investigate…
