Description:
Extract Ernie Rutter's influential contribution to our understanding of rock deformation spans the whole continental crust, from deformation ‘just under the grass’ (e.g. Rutter & Green 2011) to melt migration in the lower crust (e.g. Rutter & Neumann 1995). Ernie has also worked on many aspects of the deformation of oceanic crust (Rutter & Brodie 1988); however, here we reflect on the wide range of deformation conditions Ernie has studied by presenting key aspects of the strength and rheology of the continental lithosphere as we understand it today, with the aim of providing the context for the contributions included within this volume. ...
