Crustal Structure Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab investigates crustal structure, centered on faults, through fieldwork and laboratory work.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the structure of the crust through faults
The Crustal Structure Lab studies structures of various sizes in the lithosphere, from the crust to the uppermost mantle.
Its main subject is faults.
It combines geological field surveys and seismic surveys, observation of microstructures under the microscope, rock deformation experiments, and seismic wave analysis.
The lab's faculty members study the seismological structure of island arcs and subduction zones, and the mechanisms of earthquake occurrence as seen from rock deformation experiments.
Key terms
- Lithosphere
- The hard rocky layer covering the Earth's surface, made up of the crust and the uppermost mantle
- Seismic survey
- A method of investigating underground structure from how artificially generated vibrations travel through the ground
- Subduction zone
- A place where an oceanic plate sinks beneath another plate
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the structure of the lithosphere (the crust to the uppermost mantle), focusing mainly on faults. It combines field surveys and observations with microscope observation, laboratory experiments, and seismic wave analysis.
