Host Rock Variability Powers the Diversity of Steam-Driven Eruptions
Montanaro, Cristian; Cronin, Shane J.; Scheu , Bettina Scheu; Kennedy, Ben; Scott, Bradley J.; Dingwell, Donald B.; (2020-11)
Steam-driven eruptions are explosions that frequently occur in volcanic and geothermal areas. They are powered by the sudden release and expansion of steam and liquid water... -
Frictional and microanalytical data of basalts sheared with pressurized H2O- and CO2- rich fluids
Giacomel, Piercarlo; Spagnuolo, Elena; Nazzari, Manuela; Marzoli, Andrea; Passelegue, François; Youbi, Nasrrddine; et al. (2018-06)
Here we report the raw data of the friction experiments performed on basalt-built faults pressurized with de-ionized H2O, pure CO2, pure Ar, and H2O+CO2 mixtures, respectively... -
Mechanical data and microstructures of simulated calcite fault gouge sheared at 550°C
Verberne, Berend Antonie; Chen, Jianye; Pennock, Gillian; (2017-10)
The largest magnitude earthquakes nucleate at depths near the base of the seismogenic zone, near the transition from velocity weakening frictional slip to velocity strengthening...
