Acoustic pattern of dynamic serpentinization processes

Serpentinization, hydration of the oceanic crust, has strong implications for both the physical properties of the crust and the long-term global carbon cycle. We previously reproduced at the ESRF the serpentinization process experimentally both to understand the coupled chemical and physical processes involved and to constrain its impact on the strength of oceanic crust. We wish now to listen to the exact same process, record the acoustic emission produced at the different steps of the process and compare them with a large-scale experiment within the Oman desert where mega-hertz acoustic sensors have been deployed.
