The aim of this review is to characterize the role of pressure solution creep in the ductility of
the Earth's upper crust and to describe how this creep mechanism competes and interacts …

Stylolites are ubiquitous geo-patterns observed in rocks in the upper crust, from geological
reservoirs in sedimentary rocks to deformation zones, in folds, faults, and shear zones …

Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is a major cause for concrete deterioration worldwide. However,
the mechanism leading to cracking has not been identified yet. In this study, the extended …

Nanogeochemistry—a newly emerging research field—attempts to understand geochemical
reactions and mass transfers at nanometer scales, especially with regards to the formation of …

Subcritical cracking behavior and surface energies are important factors in geological
processes, as they control time‐dependent brittle processes and the long‐term stability of …

Confronting grand canonical titration Monte Carlo simulations (MC) with recently published
titration and charge reversal (CR) experiments on silica surfaces by Dove and Craven …

nm-Range forces acting between calcite surfaces in water affect macroscopic properties of
carbonate rocks and calcite-based granular materials and are significantly influenced by …

Active faults slip at different rates over the course of the seismic cycle: earthquake slip (c. 1
ms− 1), interseismic creep (c. 10–100 mm year− 1) and intermediate rate transients (eg …

The evolution of a fault's frictional strength during the interseismic period is a critical
component of the earthquake cycle, yet there have been relatively few studies that examine …

Fluid migration through reactive rocks invariably leads to modifications of the rock porosity
and pore structure. This, in turn, provides feedback on the fluid migration process itself …
