Dear Colleagues and friends,
As the guest editors of the Minerals Special Issue on "Petrophysical Characteristics of Naturally Deformed Rocks", we would like to cordially invite you to contribute with research paper or review to this Issue.
This Special Issue welcomes articles on the following main categories:
- Understanding/modeling the relationships between rock fabric and measured anisotropy and method development;
- Application of anisotropy measures to interpret geodynamics/tectonics/fluid migration;
- Correlations between different types of anisotropy.
Keywords
Magnetic fabrics; Seismic anisotropy; Crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO); Shape preferred orientation (SPO); Mineral rheology; Phase interconnectivity; Fluid migration; Stylolites; Reservoir characterization; Pores; Permeability; Microfractures; Shear bands; Synchrotron-based micro-CT imaging
