Hydrothermal Friction data of gouges derived from the Alpine Fault
Niemeijer, Andre; (2017-07)
The Alpine Fault, New Zealand, is a major plate-bounding fault that accommodates 65–75% of the total relative motion between the Australian and Pacific plates. Here we present... -
Mechanical data and microstructures of simulated calcite fault gouge sheared at 550°C
Verberne, Berend Antonie; Chen, Jianye; Pennock, Gillian; (2017-10)
The largest magnitude earthquakes nucleate at depths near the base of the seismogenic zone, near the transition from velocity weakening frictional slip to velocity strengthening... -
Velocity-dependent slip weakening by the combined operation of pressure solution and foliation development
Niemeijer, Andre; (2018-03)
Phyllosilicate-bearing faults are characterized by an anastomosing foliation with intervening hard clasts and are believed to be long-term weak structures. Here, I present...
