Dear collegues,
> Monday, Jan 18 <
is the deadline for abstract submission for the next
EGU General Assembly in Vienna, Austria, 02-07 May 2010.
http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2010
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the session SM2.2: Fault zone processes from (integrated) geophysical imaging.
This session is co-organized with Geodynamics, Hydrology, Natural Hazards and Tectonics. A short description of the session is also attached below.
Hoping to see you in Vienna,
Patrick Musmann and Charlotte Krawczyk.

Fault zone processes from (integrated) geophysical imaging
Fault zone processes can be studied directly by outcrop analysis or drill hole evidence. Where this is not possible, indirect evidence must be provided by geophysical data. Over a wide range of scales faulting causes segmentation into compartments and/or fault linkage resulting in fracture networks that may act as conduits or as a seal for any kind of fluid. These aspects require an analysis of location, orientation and length distribution of fault and fracture systems with a variety of geophysical methods. In addition to the imaging and structural characterization of fault zones themselves, their physical and hydraulic properties are of major importance.
To address these topics, this session aims to discuss (1) the imaging and interpretation of fault systems at all scales, (2) the capability of (combined) geophysical methods to provide a more detailed resolution of both structure and properties of faults, and (3) the impact of fault development (i.e. opening and sealing of structures) on porosity, fluid flow or other parameters of interest also for applied studies. Both natural data examples and lab studies from various disciplines may help to better understand processes acting in fault zones.
