Friction experiments performed on dolomite/calcite at conditions typical during the propagation of large earthquakes (slip velocities v > 1 m/s and displacements d > 1 m) show that the frictional strength of experimental faults decays exponentially f...

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.
