Fluids are known to be a triggering and driving factor for landslides. Hydromechanical coupling has been proposed as possible explanation for landslide dynamics, including both slow, aseismic slip, as well as fast, seismic rupture. The widely accepted understanding is that rainfall, snowmelt and the seasonality of the groundwater recharge...

Landslides accommodate slow, aseismic slip and fast, seismic rupture, which are sensitive to fluid pressures and rock frictional properties. The study of strain partitioning in the Séchilienne landslide (France) provides a unique insight into this sensitivity. Here we show with hydromechanical modeling that a significant part of the observed...

Seismic experiments on a meter-scale rock sample characterize spatial heterogeneities at outcrop scale, and potentially bridge the gap between laboratory experiments and conventional field seismic experiments. Using a real seismic dataset of a fractured carbonate rock sample, we demonstrate strong potentials of small rock-block experiments, and...

La déstabilisation du versant instable de Séchilienne est très sensible aux événements pluviométriques. La compréhension de la circulation des fluides dans le versant ainsi que les effets hydromécaniques associés est primordiale pour caractériser les mécanismes de déformation. L'objectif de cette étude est de déterminer (i) l'influence des...

To prevent the release of large quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere, carbon capture and storage (CCS) represents a potential means of mitigating the contribution of fossil fuel emissions to global warming and ocean acidification. Fluvial saline aquifers are favourite targeted reservoirs for CO2 storage. These reservoirs are very...
