Overview

Loïc Labrousse is affiliated with Sorbonne University in France and has made contributions primarily in the field of Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a focus on geophysics. Their research spans several subfields, including geophysics, atmospheric science, environmental chemistry, mechanics of materials, and earth-surface processes.

Their work covers a range of topics, notably:

  • earthquake and tectonic studies
  • geological and geochemical analysis
  • high-pressure geophysics and materials
  • seismic imaging and inversion techniques
  • geology and paleoclimatology research
  • methane hydrates and related phenomena
  • hydrocarbon exploration and reservoir analysis

Labrousse has authored multiple papers published in well-known venues. Recent publications include:

  • "Widening of Hydrous Shear Zones During Incipient Eclogitization of Metastable Dry and Rigid Lower Crust-Holsnøy, Western Norway," 2021, Tectonics
  • "Transient weakening during the granulite to eclogite transformation within hydrous shear zones (Holsnøy, Norway)," 2021, Tectonophysics
  • "Contrasting P-T-t paths reveal a metamorphic discontinuity in the New Quebec Orogen: Insights into Paleoproterozoic orogenic processes," 2020, Precambrian Research
  • "A new generation Griggs apparatus with active acoustic monitoring," 2021, Tectonophysics
  • "P Wave Anisotropy Caused by Partial Eclogitization of Descending Crust Demonstrated by Modeling Effective Petrophysical Properties," 2020, Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems

Their frequent coauthors include:

  • Alexandre Schubnel
  • Marie Baïsset
  • Adina Bogatu
  • Jean H. Bédard
  • Julien Gasc

Labrousse's research is regularly published in venues such as Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems, Abstracts with programs - Geological Society of America, Tectonophysics, Journal of Metamorphic Geology, and Journal of Geophysical Research Solid Earth. Among these, Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems and the Geological Society of America's abstracts have hosted multiple contributions.

The scientist's work notably contributes to understanding geological processes related to tectonic activity, metamorphic transformations, and petrophysical properties under high-pressure conditions. Their publications address complex topics in geophysical experiments and interpretation relevant to both natural earth phenomena and experimental methodology.
