Deformation of rocks

Shear deformation of a single crystal orthopyroxene (opx) and olivine polycrystalline (ol).

Semi-brittle flow of rocks at high pressures

A faulting event occurred under the conditions of shallower part of subducting slabs.

Experimental techniques

To investigate rheological properties of rocks, I use lots of experimental techniques.

Microstructure of rocks

I investigate the developments of microstructures in the deformation processes at high pressures.
