UMaine researchers developing new method to quantify stress and flow rate in deforming rocks

Creating new, more accurate methods for quantifying the stress and flow rate experienced by deforming rocks at the boundaries of moving tectonic plates is the goal of a University of Maine study funded with a $392,372 National Science Foundation grant. Scott Johnson, a professor of structural geology, and Senthil Vel, a professor of mechanical engineering, read more UMaine researchers developing new method to quantify stress and flow rate in deforming rocks
