Corentin successfully defended his PhD on March 6th, 2021.
Corentin's PhD entitled, “On the effects of fluid pressure variations on rock-mass and fault mechanical behaviour“ aim to better our understanding of reservoir deformation during different fluid injection strategies. His studies are particularly relevant for applied settings, such as hydraulic fracturing operations and CO2 sequestration, where the injection of fluid has led to significant induced seismicity We wish him all the best!
Corentin's PhD research resulted in the following publications:
