Research
The research activities of the Experimental Rock Deformation Group aim to provide fundamental data on rock properties and deformation mechanisms. Combining the experimental work with microstructural analysis and microphysical modelling studies, we try to understand, model and predict a wide range of geological, geotechnical and geodynamical processes. In this context, most research activities of the Experimental Rock Deformation Group can be broadly placed in three themes: Seismicity, Sustainability and Crust and Lithosphere.
