Deformation and its surface expression in stressed planetary materials by Seltzer, Cassandra

“…This work therefore explores the relationship between microstructure and stress conditions in order to connect geophysical observations to the underlying forces on subsurface materials, using both experimental and computational methods. The first two chapters investigate two-phase deformation, where a partial melt phase is present between grains of solid materials such as olivine (Chapter 2) or ice (Chapter 3). …”
