The scaling of fracture compliance

The seismic visibility of fractures depends on the magnitude of their normal and shear compliance and how these quantities vary with the scale of the fracture and depth of burial. Reliable estimates of fracture compliance as a function of confining pressure, in the range 10-13 - 10-14 m Pa-1, have b...
