The deformation of models composed of materials with different physical properties that simulate rocks at different depths in the Earth’s crust helps researchers better understand geological and tectonic processes. Using computed tomography (CT scanning), the progressive evolution of structures in models is observed in 3D (i.e. in 4D). Thus, the results help in the interpretation of field observations and geophysical data to better understand tectonic processes in the Earth, structural and tectonic controls of epigenetic mineral deposits, including critical and precious minerals, and hydrocarbon traps. The laboratory’s research also focuses on fundamental aspects of the tectonics of the ancient Earth and other telluric planets, such as Venus and Mars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":128005,"parent":20086,"template":"","sectors":[730],"class_list":["post-13300","laboratory","type-laboratory","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","sectors-geosciences-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPhysical
