Funded Activity Summary

Dynamic permeability and the evolution of fluid pathways in fracture-controlled hydrothermal systems. This project will advance knowledge of how fracture-controlled fluid flow at depth in the Earth influences the strength and mechanical behaviour of the crust, earthquake processes, and the formation of hydrothermal ore systems. Fundamental new knowledge of the dynamic variations in fluid transport properties and flow distribution in deep fracture networks also will have application for understanding hydrocarbon migration in fractured reservoirs, controls on seal integrity in geosequestration projects, and for geothermal energy production from hot, fractured rock. The project will develop international collaboration and train young scientists in applying multidisciplinary approaches to exploring fluid systems in the Earth's crust.
