Permeability as a toggle switch in fluid-controlled crustal processes
Stephen A. Miller,Amos Nur +1 more
TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a model based on the assumption that permeability is zero when a cell is below some failure condition, and very large locally (e.g. nearest neighbors) when the failure condition is met.About:

S-type granitic magmas—petrogenetic issues, models and evidence
TL;DR: The restite-unmixing model is commonly seen as a companion to the S-I classification, but it is really a separate issue as discussed by the authors, since it implies that the compositions of granites "image" those of their source rocks in a simple way.

A review of the formation of tectonic veins and their microstructures
TL;DR: In this article, a continuum between syntaxial and stretching veins that form from the crack-seal process, as opposed to antitaxial veins that grow without the presence of an open fracture during growth.

Coupling between Deformation, Fluid Pressures, and Fluid Flow in Ore-Producing Hydrothermal Systems at Depth in the Crust
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the influence of hydraulic gradients between upstream fluid reservoirs and the downstream regions of permeable networks of active faults, shear zones, and related structures that drain reservoirs.

Windows of metamorphic sulfur liberation in the crust: Implications for gold deposit genesis
TL;DR: In this article, a mass balance approach and the thermodynamic computer programs T hermocalc and PerpleX were used to constrain the P-T range of pyrite breakdown to pyrrhotite (which liberates sulfur) in common metamorphic lithologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Permeability of the Continental Crust: Dynamic Variations Inferred from Seismicity and Metamorphism
TL;DR: The variation of permeability with depth can be probed indirectly by various means, including hydrologic models that use geothermal data as constraints and the progress of metamorphic reactions driven by fluid flow as discussed by the authors.

Introduction to percolation theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a scaling solution for the Bethe lattice is proposed for cluster numbers and a scaling assumption for cluster number scaling assumptions for cluster radius and fractal dimension is proposed.

Internal deformation due to shear and tensile faults in a half-space
TL;DR: A complete set of closed analytical expressions for the internal displacements and strains due to shear and tensile faults in a half-space for both point and finite rectangular sources is presented in this paper.

Fault zone architecture and permeability structure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed qualitative and quantitative schemes for evaluating fault-related permeability structures by using results of field investigations, laboratory permeability measurements, and numerical models offlow within and near fault zones.

Role of fluid pressure in mechanics of overthrust faulting: I. Mechanics of fluid-filled porous solids and its application to overthrust faulting
M. King Hubbert,William W. Rubey +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the critical value of the shearing stress can be made arbitrarily small simply by increasing the fluid pressure p. This can be further simplified by expressing p in terms of S by means of the equation which, when introduced into equation (4), gives
