| dc.description.abstract | The thesis investigates what causes the creation and growth of microfractures within shales of natural systems. Note, shales represent roughly 50% of all rocks at or near the surface on the Earth.
The approach of the study was conducted at both a very large scale (km) and very small scale (um). This in order to better understand the behavior of shales as a whole, and the impact when influenced by high pressure and temperatures.
A particular focus was placed on the relationship between the organic and inorganic components. The result of this and findings are clear boundaries around the degree to which the organic material could potentially impact the properties of the shale for a broad variety of use cases in the future like e.g. geothermal energy, CCUS, nuclear waste storage, critical resource extraction, geotechnical analysis, and similar purposes. | en_US |
