Rock Fractures and Fluid Flow - National Research Council a Division on Earth and Life Studies a Commission on Geosciences, Environment and Resources a Committee on Fracture Characterization and Fluid Flow

How can changes in fracture systems be predicted and controlled?Among other topics, the committee provides a geomechanical understanding of fracture formation, reviews methods for detecting subsurface fractures, and looks at the use of hydraulic and tracer tests to investigate fluid flow.
