Experimental Geophysics
- Multi-scale imaging
Seismic, electro-mag, drilling, methodological developments (from grain to field).
- Movement of fluids
Electrical methods, radar, spontaneous potential, electro-filtration, seismic-electric, flow modeling, links between fluids and micro-seismicity.
- Formation and deformation of geological stuctures in reservoirs
Location, fractures, bands of compaction, damage, stylolites, imaging of microstructures and their deformation.
- Fault rheology
Seismic source, slow earthquakes, friction laws, multiplet physics, nucleation, seismic cycle, induced seismicity.
- Slope instabilities
Wet avalanches, landslides and coupled water-material flows, role of fluids, site instrumentation, analog and digital modeling, geomorphological hazard
- Geothermal energy
Physical properties of reservoir rocks, stimlulation strategies, fluid flow, hydro-thermo-mechanical modelling.
- Volcanology
Volcano stability, effusive-explosive transitioning, outgassing, hydrothermal alteration, fluid flow.
