Despite the abundance of garnet in deforming regions of the Earth, such as subduction
zones, its rheological properties are not well defined by laboratory measurements. Here we …

We combined microstructural observations and high-resolution crystallographic preferred
orientation (CPO) mapping to unravel the active deformation mechanisms in garnet …

The influence of pyroxene on upper mantle viscosity remains unclear but may occur either
through its difference in strength relative to olivine or through its effect on olivine …

We have conducted a series of constant strain-rate experiments on a synthetic peridotite
composed of isostatically hot-pressed olivine and orthopyroxene, over a pressure range of …

Using in situ strength measurements at pressures up to 10 GPa and at room temperature,
400, 600, and 700° C, we examined rheological properties of olivine, orthopyroxene, and …

Plastic properties of materials with garnet structure have been studied under wide
temperature conditions, ranging from room temperature to∼ 95% of the melting …

We have investigated the rheology of hot-pressed polycrystalline omphacite (Di58Jd42,
space group C2/c) at strain rates of 10− 4–10− 5/s, temperatures of 1300–1500K and a …

Rheological properties of mantle minerals and rocks at temperatures (T) appropriate to
much of Earth's lithosphere have remained poorly constrained, even though past …

To determine the influence of a large melt fraction, 0.15≤ ϕ≤ 0.30, on the rheological
behavior of partially molten rocks, we performed a series of high-temperature, triaxial …

To provide constraints on the rheological properties of garnet, we have experimentally
investigated the creep behavior of garnet at high pressures and temperatures using a …
