A compaction model which incorporates energy transport with fluid flow to investigate the role of three-dimensional loading and thermal expansion of fluid in generating the excess pore pressure in nonhomogeneous sedimentary ...

Finally, I addressed the cause of discrepancies in current studies of the effect of water on elastic properties of wadsleyite. To rule out the systematic errors in the determination of water content measured by different ...

Near-perfect single crystals are often used for elasticity measurements when available, though in nature, fine-grained polycrystalline and amorphous minerals compose a large part of it. Therefore, the relationship between ...

An extrapolation of our data to transition zone pressure and temperature indicates that the shear and compressional impedance contrasts associated with beta- →gamma-(Mg,Fe)2SiO4 transition are sufficient to produce a ...
