Generation of amorphous carbon and crystallographic texture during low-temperature subseismic slip in calcite fault gouge

Identification of the nano-scale to micro-scale mechanochemical processes occurring during fault slip is of fundamental importance to understand earthquake nucleation and propagation. Here we explore the micromechanical processes occurring during fault nucleation and slip at subseismic rates (∼3 × 1...
