Dear Colleagues,
Please consider submitting your AGU abstract to the following session on fluid-fault interactions in continental and oceanic settings. We are looking forward to a dialogue comparing the oceanic and continental domains!
T009: Fluid flow in continental and oceanic shear zones
Invited speakers:
Margaret Boettcher, University of New Hampshire
Barbara John, University of Wyoming
Session ID#: 12629
Long sections of plate boundaries on the continents and in the oceans move by displacement on faults. In the shallow brittle zone of faults, fluid circulation helps drive weakening and seismic failure. The penetration of meteoric fluid into deep ductilely deforming mylonites in crustal shear zones is well substantiated, whereas the role of seawater circulation in the ductile portions of oceanic lithosphere is poorly documented. This session aims to bring together the communities working on fluid flow in crust and mantle shear zones, as well as those working on fluids in brittle and ductile rheologies. To enhance dialogue about the role of fluids in shear zones, contributions from field studies of shear zones and hydrothermal systems, laboratory experiments, seismological observations, and numerical modeling are all strongly encouraged.
Conveners: Jessica M Warren, University of Delaware; Christian Teyssier, University of Minnesota; Mark Zimmerman, University of Minnesota
