Abstract: The influx of fluids into fault zones can trigger two main types of weakening process that operate over different timescales and facilitate fault movement and earthquake nucleation. Short- and long-term weakening mechanisms along faults req... Read More about Fault weakening due to CO2 degassing in the Northern Apennines: short- and long-term processes.
