Our understanding of the rheological and seismic properties of the
Earth's interior relies on interpreting geophysical observations
using mineral physics data. The complexity of natural materials
complicates these interpretations, but here the key features of
such materials in controlling the attenuation of seismic waves are
determined by a set of careful experiments. This thesis clearly
explains how dynamic mechanical spectroscopy has been used to
determine the visco-elastic properties of igneous and sedimentary
rocks containing geological fluids. These experiments highlight,
for the first time, the importance of mineral and rock
microstructures as controls on geophysical properties of solids,
particularly near the melting point. The results have impacts in
areas ranging from volcanic processes, through the structure of the
deep Earth, to fluid-saturated porous media.
