A continuum model of multi-phase reactive transport in igneous systems [PDF]
Multi-phase reactive transport processes are ubiquitous in igneous systems. A challenging aspect of modelling igneous phenomena is that they range from solid-dominated porous to liquid-dominated suspension flows and therefore entail a wide spectrum of rheological conditions, flow speeds, and length scales.

Quantitative Elimination of Seismic Pseudofaults and Fine Analysis of True Faults Underlying Igneous Rocks of No-Well Areas: A Case Study of Shuntuoguole Uplift in Tarim Basin [PDF]
After multistage tectonic movement and evolution, large superimposed oil and gas basins generally developed many igneous rocks in the early rifting stages.

Computing Elastic Moduli of Igneous Rocks Using Modal Composition and Effective Medium Theory
Elastic constants of rock materials are the basic parameters required for modeling the response of rock materials under mechanical loads. Experimental tests for determining these properties are expensive, time-consuming and suffer from a high uncertainty

Fault slip in hydraulic stimulation of geothermal reservoirs: governing mechanisms and process-structure interaction [PDF]
Hydraulic stimulation of geothermal reservoirs in low-permeability basement and crystalline igneous rock can enhance permeability by reactivation and shear dilation of existing fractures. The process is characterized by interaction between fluid flow, deformation, and the fractured structure of the formation. The flow is highly affected by the fracture

Does Zircon Shape Retain Petrogenetic Information?
Zircon shape is commonly reported during geochronology and geochemistry analyses of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, but the relationship of zircon shape to primary growth environmental conditions remains poorly constrained.

Characterizing Drivers of Asia's Black Elephant Disaster Risks
Abstract Asia has the fastest growing population and economy, but it is also the most disaster‐prone region in the world. Resilience to disaster impacts from natural hazards will be key to the long‐term sustainability of this rapidly growing region. The first step to building resilience is to identify the key threats that this region faces. We describe

Craton Destruction Induced by Drastic Drops in Lithospheric Mantle Viscosity
Abstract The disruption of the mantle roots of cratons is common after cratonization. Craton destruction, which is characterized by severe lithospheric thinning, extensive thrust and extensional deformation, basin filling, and intense thermal activities, is relatively rare and is generally attributed to intensely reduced viscosity contrasts between the

Abstract The boundary between the Northern Andean block and the South American plate is a first‐order tectonic structure in Colombia with historically M > 7 earthquakes. However, details about individual sections of the system remain unknown. We illuminate the seismotectonic of the Algeciras fault by investigating an earthquake sequence that started on
