地球流变学研究现状

地球流变学研究地球介质的流变学性质、地质构造的形成和演化、地震的前兆及其发展、泥石流、岩浆流、冰川运动等地学问题。它是介于地球科学和力学之间的边缘学科。本文介绍地球流变学的进展,包括:岩石蠕变实验,利用观测数据反演地球流变学性质,岩石圈变形分析,动力热体系,地质构造、矿物颗粒的定向分布以及地震过程与流变学的关系。 

THE STATE OF THE ART OF GEORHEOLOGICAL STUDY

Georheology is a discipline which studies the rheological properties of earth's media, the formative and evolutional process of geological structures, the precursors and the developments of the seism, the flow, the debris magma flow, the glacial motion, etc. It's a interdisciplinary science between earth sciences and mechanics.In this paper, the recent advances in georheology are reviewed. It includes experiments on rock creep, the inversion of georheological properties from field data, analysis of the deformation of lithosphere, and the processes in dynamic thermal regimes, relations between geological structures, microdeformation mechanism of mineral grains, earthquake proccess and rheology.
