Ductile and Brittle Fault Rocks in the Upper and Lower Crust, Respectively. part of Cutting Edge:Courses:Structural Geology and Tectonics:2022 Structure and Tectonics Forum:Abstracts
Abstract page from the 2022 Structure and Tectonics Forum presenting research on exceptions to classical crustal rheology, detailing how brittle deformation can occur at depths ≥15 km due to high fluid pressures from anatexis and how aseismic creep via pressure solution and grain boundary sliding operates in the upper crust, supported by petrologic and 40Ar/39Ar evidence from the East Derby shear zone.
