• mineral-, rock- and fault-physics experiments, microstructural characterization of naturally deformed rocks and petrophysical modelling (CNRS-GM, UU, UDUR, UCL);
• seismological investigations of complex structures and anisotropy at different depths and in diverse tectonic and geological settings (UBRIS, WWU, UU);
• 3-D computational and laboratory models of convection in fluids with complex rheology (CNRS-FAST, ETH, JGU, UNIROMA3).

The private-sector partners guarantee that the Fellows are exposed to a large variety of activities in which rheology is central: developing new technologies for the oil exploration industry (Schlumberger, Baker Hughes), producing and selling scientific instruments (MP Strumenti), designing client-based softwares (Rockfield), optimizing production procedures for high-technology manufacturing applications for materials as varied as glass, steels, or salt (Schott, APERAM, AkzoNobel), and performing geothermal research and exploration (Reykjavik Geothermal, IGEM) or geophysics surveys (GMuG, Geospatial Research).
