This project investigates the processes behind strain localization in plate tectonics, focusing on how deformation leads to heterogeneous weakening in geological materials. By conducting in situ experiments on ice and magnesium, the research aims to enhance understanding of the mechanics driving tectonic movements.
Plate tectonics, by linking the evolution of the Earth’s surface to the dynamics of the deep interior, has provided a coherent framework to understand the formation of mountain ranges and oil-rich sedimentary basins, as well as the distribution of major catastrophic events such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
We now understand that it is an essential and unique feature of mantle convection but the processes behind still remain a major open question.
