Modelling Viscous Flow and Elastic Deformation in Fold-Thrust Belts and Magmatic Intrusions
(2020-04-25)Fluid dynamics governs many phenomena on the Earth's surface and interior, from the emplacement of fluid magma, to the viscous deformation of mountain ranges on the longest time scales. Understanding these processes presents ... -
Crystalline, Amorphous, and Liquid Metal-Organic Frameworks at Non-Ambient Conditions
(2019-10-31)Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), in the traditional sense, are crystalline and microporous materials. MOFs are of incessant scientific interest due to their enormous potential as host structures for a range of chemical ... -
The Mechanics of Active Faulting and Mountain Building
(2019-10-26)The aims of this thesis are to place new constraints on the rheological properties of active faults, and to investigate the influence of fault rheology on mountain building. The first chapter studies the postseismic ... -
Effects of Glaciation on Volcanism in Iceland
(2019-10-08)Volcanic eruption rates in Iceland during the last deglaciation increased 5--30 fold from the steady-state rates. This has been understood by the unloading of ice, which increases the decompression rates in the mantle, ...
