The Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar on Flow & Transport In Permeable Media is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.
The focus of this meeting is the scientific basis of geological CO2 storage, including characterization of the storage site, physical and chemical processes during CO2 migration, multiscale and multiphysics numerical simulation of CO2 evolution, and geophysical and geochemical monitoring of storage performance.
