Effects of water and iron content on the rheological contrast between garnet and olivine
The effects of water and iron content on the relative creep strengths of garnet and olivine were investigated by shear deformation experiments. arnet and olivine samples were sandwiched together between alumina pistons in a simple shear geometry and were deformed at P= 1–2 GPa, = 1473 K and strain rates ranging from 10−5 to 10−3 s−1 using a Griggs-type solid-medium apparatus. The stressand stra...
متن کاملRheological decoupling at the Moho and implication to Venusian tectonics
Plate tectonics is largely responsible for material and heat circulation in Earth, but for unknown reasons it does not exist on Venus. The strength of planetary materials is a key control on plate tectonics because physical properties, such as temperature, pressure, stress, and chemical composition, result in strong rheological layering and convection in planetary interiors. Our deformation exp...
متن کاملFractal behavior of soil water storage at multiple depths
Spatiotemporal behavior of soil water is essential to understand the science of hydrodynamics. Data intensive measurement of surface soil water using remote sensing has established that the spatial variability of soil water can be described using the principle of self-similarity (scaling properties) or fractal theory. This information can be used in determining land management practices provide...

متن کاملSensing Water Properties at Precise Depths from the Air
Water properties critical to our understanding and managing of freshwater systems change rapidly with depth. This work presents an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based method of keeping a passive, cable-suspended sensor payload at a precise depth, with 95% of submerged sensor readings within ±8.4 cm of the target depth, helping dramatically increase the spatiotemporal resolution of water science...
