The influence of microstructure on deformation of olivine in the grain-boundary sliding regime

Although microstructural evolution is critical to strain-dependent processes in Earth's mantle, flow laws for dunite have only been calibrated with low-strain experiments. Therefore, we conducted a series of high-strain torsion experiments on thin-walled cylinders of iron-rich olivine aggregate...
