TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the elastic properties of clay minerals using independent experimental methods to measure the elastic moduli of the clay minerals as functions of pressure and saturation, and made a comparison between the accuracy of velocity prediction in shaley sandstones and claywater and clay-sand mixtures using the values measured in this study and those from theoretical models.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multidisciplinary approach dealing with three-dimensional delay time tomography and rock physics characterization has been followed to explore the structure of the Campi Flegrei Caldera as well as the role of hydrothermal fluids on velocity changes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the coupled physical and chemical effects of injecting CO2-rich water into carbonate rock samples, and monitor the elastic and transport properties of six carbonate rocks, along with the calcium content and pH of the pore fluid under constant confining pressure.

TL;DR: The relationship in carbonates between measured geophysical data and rock properties is complex, due to the large variety of textures that arise during postdepositional diagenesis and to the chemical processes (i.e., dissolution and replacement by newly formed phases) that characterize carbonate-forming minerals as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional delay traveltime tomography is performed to image the intermediate structure of the western Gulf of Corinth, where a large data set, collected in 1991 during a two-month passive tomographic experiment, is reanalysed for the reconstruction of detailed Vp and Vs images.
