Strength and rheological evolution of the lower continental crust

The project will study the processes of deformation and the mechanical strength in the lower continental crust. To date, it is unclear whether this part of the crust behaves as a rigid part of the lithosphere or whether it is mechanically much weaker than the upper mantle so that deformation may...
