“…And when the fluid film model breaks down, how does the interface evolve towards an island-and-channel structure? Experiments have been performed on four different materials, ionic salts (de Meer et al, 2002;Dysthe et al, 2002a;Dysthe et al, 2003;Gratier, 1993;Gratier et al, 1999;Hickman and Evans, 1991;Hickman and Evans, 1995;Jordan et al, 2005;Karcz et al, 2006;Martin et al, 1999;Skvortsova et al, 2003;Tada and Siever, 1986;Traskine et al, 2009), calcite (Croize et al, 2010a;Zubtsov et al, 2005), gypsum (PachonRodriguez et al, 2011) and quartz (Alcantar et al, 2003;Anzalone et al, 2006;Gratier et al, 2009;Greene et al, 2009;Kristiansen et al, 2011;van Noort et al, 2011) with a wide range of solubilities, interface kinetics and elastic/plastic properties.…”

The aim of this review is to characterize the role of pressure solution creep in the ductility of the Earth's upper crust and to describe how this creep mechanism competes and interacts with other deformation mechanisms. Pressure solution creep is a major mechanism of ductile deformation of the upper crust, accommodating basin compaction, folding, shear zone development, and fault creep and interseismic healing. However, its kinetics is strongly dependent on the composition of the rocks (mainly the presence of phyllosilicates minerals that activate pressure solution) and on its interaction with fracturing and healing processes (that activate and slow down pressure solution, respectively).The present review combines three approaches: natural observations, theoretical developments, and laboratory experiments. Natural observations can be used to identify the pressure solution markers necessary to evaluate creep law parameters, such as the nature of the material, the temperature and stress conditions or the geometry of mass transfer domains. Theoretical developments help to investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of the processes and to build theoretical creep laws.Laboratory experiments are implemented in order to test the models and to measure creep law parameters such as driving forces and kinetic coefficients. Finally, applications are discussed for the modelling of sedimentary basin compaction and fault creep. The sensitivity of the models to time is given particular attention: viscous versus plastic rheology during sediment compaction; steady state versus non-steady state behaviour of fault and shear zones. The conclusions discuss recent advances for modelling pressure solution creep and the main questions that remain to be solved. -IntroductionIn order to investigate the role of pressure solution creep in the ductility of the Earth's upper crust the various mechanical behaviour patterns of the upper crust must first be discussed. Two types of approach can be considered on this topic.1 -The mechanical behaviour of the upper crust is modelled using brittle theories, that include friction laws (Byerlee, 1978;Marone, 1998). This modelling approach is supported by two kinds of observations: (i) the maximum frequency of earthquakes is located within the first 15-20 km of the upper crust (Chen and Molnar, 1983;Sibson, 1982); (ii) laboratory experiments run at relatively fast strain-rates (faster than 10 -7 s -1 ) indicate a transition from frictional to plastic deformation at pressure and temperature conditions appropriate for a depth of 10-20 km (Kohlstedt et al., 1995;Paterson, 1978;Poirier, 1985).2 -Conversely, the behaviour of the upper crust is also modelled by ductile behaviour with creep laws (Wheeler, 1992). This modelling approach is supported by two kinds of observations: (i) geological structures exhumed from depth, such as compacted basin, folds and shear zones, and regional cleavage, indicate ductile behaviour throughout the upper crust (Argand, 1924;Hauck et al., 1998;Schmidt et al., 1996) (Fig. ...

“…The paper by Traskine et al (2009) focuses on pressure solution creep of NaCl, CaCO 3 , and NH 4 NO 3 based on ball indentation and powder compaction experiments employing static and cyclic loading-unloading devices. Traskine et al found that the transition from a static to a cyclic regime results in an increased creep rate, which lasts over the whole time of cyclic impact.…”
