Quantitative evaluation of energy taken up by coseismic chemical reaction

因为确定能量收支是理解地震物理的关键，所以定量评估同震化学反应所占用的能量是很重要的。我对天然发震断层的断层岩样进行了化学分析，发现了指示同震反应的信号。通过结合热物性测量、化学动力学和能量守恒的数值分析，我估计了反应所消耗的能量。

Because determination of the energy budget is key to understanding the physics of earthquakes, quantitative evaluation of the energy taken up by coseismic chemical reaction is important. I performed chemical analysis of fault-rock sample from natural seismogenic faults, and revealed the signals indicating the coseismic reaction were found. By a numerical analysis incorporating thermal property measurement, chemical kinetics, and energy conservation, I evaluated the energy taken up by the reaction.
