Investigated Physical Properties

Compressional- and Shear-Wave Velocities
 

Pore-Space Parameters
Hydraulic permeability of a rock sample is determined by measuring fluid flow through the sample at applied pressure gradient.

Radiogenic Heat Production
The abundances of naturally radioactive elements in the Earth crust constitute a large heat source to the surface heat flow, which is the density of outflow of heat from the Earth interior.
