Diffusion timescale conundrum in contact metamorphism: Oxygen isotope and trace element profiles in dolomite

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Lukas Baumgartner, Florence Bégué

Successful application of diffusion chronometry is based on detailed knowledge of diffusion parameters obtained from laboratory experiments, which also need to be upscaled to be applied to natural samples. While generally applicable, several examples of di ...

Oxygen diffusion in garnet: Experimental calibration and implications for timescales of metamorphic processes and retention of primary O isotopic signatures

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig

Knowledge of oxygen diffusion in garnet is crucial for a correct interpretation of oxygen isotope signatures in natural samples. A series of experiments was undertaken to determine the diffusivity of oxygen in garnet, which remains poorly constrained. The ...

Effect of the mineralogical composition on the elastoplastic hydromechanical response of Opalinus Clay shale

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci

Opalinus Clay is the shale currently under investigation as the host formation for geological radioactive waste disposal in Switzerland. Its hydromechanical response has been widely studied, and the experimental results show a range of values whose dispers ...

Impact of Mineralogical Composition on Geotechnical Properties of Opalinus Clay

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci

Opalinus Clay is the selected host geomaterial for the construction of underground geological disposals for radioactive waste in Switzerland. The formation has been studied in several sites, i.e. the Mont Terri laboratory, and several boreholes in the nort ...

Mechanical anisotropy of Opalinus Clay shale: a multiscale approach

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci, Aldo Madaschi

The mechanical properties of Opalinus Clay shale are strongly affected by the mineralogical composition of the layers and by their spatial arrangement at centimetre to decimetre scales. For this reason, accurate laboratory characterization of the mechanica ...

Assessing the Effect of Calcite Impurities in Clay on Optimal Dehydroxylation Parameters for Enhanced Reactivity

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

This study focused on understanding the influence of different amounts of calcite impurities (0 to 10% by mass) on the optimal parameters for clay dehydroxylation and the reactivity of the final calcined clay. A surface response experimental design was use ...

The impact of the volumetric swelling behavior on the water uptake of gas shale

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Alberto Minardi

Water uptake of gas shales is commonly considered one of the most important factors responsible for fluid loss during flowback operations after hydraulic fracturing. Imbibition experiments cover a key role in this context to analyze the impact of several f ...

Brittle versus ductile deformation as the main control of the deep fluid circulation in oceanic crust

Marie Estelle Solange Violay

The brittle to ductile transition may strongly influence hydraulic properties of rocks at the depth and temperature ranges that hydrothermal fluids circulate. To examine this transition in the context of the oceanic crust, we conducted a series of deformat ...
