Fault networks and scaling properties of deformation accumulation (B01)

• Subject Area: Mathematics ; Palaeontology
• Term: from 2014 to 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 235221301

Since the understanding of the mechanics of geological fault networks based on natural observations alone remains severly data-limited, this project is intended to combine mathematical modelling and numerical analysis with geophysical insight to develop the tools for advanced simulations of single- and multiscale fault networks, cross-validated and motivated by experimental and natural observations.
