- Abstract:
- Fluid flow along shear zones is the cause of some economically important minerlization along faults. Further, the observation of mantle fluids associated with major plate bounding fault zones (e.g. the San Andreas fault) implies fluids have traversed the whole thickness of the crust via the fault zone. Flow through shear zones has been shown to be important from very low metamorphic grades up to eclogite facies. Despite geological evidence that shows fluid-flow can be focussed in plastic fault zones, there is a lack of experimental data to show how, and at what rates, this occurs. This research will investigate experimentally mechanisms by which fluids flow through rocks undergoing plastic deformation, through measurements of the dynamic permeability of rocks at high pressures and temperatures.
