Dr. Henri Leclère focuses his research on fault mechanics from the field to the laboratory scale. He has used experimental and analytical methods to study fluid-fault interaction in the context of natural seismicity.

Dr. Henri Leclère research at the LEMR will be supported by the ERC grant BEFINE (mechanical BEhavior of Fluid-INduced Earthquakes). In the framework of the project, he will focus on changes of physico-chemical properties of rocks during fluid rock interactions in reservoirs and faults. These research are of importance for understanding the mechanics of geo-reservoir with application to deep geothermal energy or CO2 sequestration.
