Laboratory Details
Laboratoire de déformation
The Laboratoire de Déformation des Roches (LDR) is located at the École et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre (EOST), Université de Strasbourg. The LDR, part of the Géophysique Expérimentale team, houses a variety of purpose-built equipment designed to investigate the deformation behaviour and fluid flow properties of the Earth's crust.
Our main research focus is the hydraulic and mechanical properties of geomaterials. In particular, we are interested in the influence of deformation (mechanically or thermally induced damage, pressure-solution, etc.) and failure mode (brittle or ductile) on the evolution of rock physical properties (porosity, permeability, electrical conductivity, etc.). We use a range of experimental, field, and modelling techniques to study both natural geophysical phenomena (reservoirs, faults, volcanoes, etc.) and industrial applications (oil/gas recovery, geothermal, etc.).
