Special Issue InterPore 2020-2022

A number of special issues have been created from minisymposia of InterPore2020. Moreover, a number of special issues related to minisymposia of InterPore2022 are already initiated. We’ll report when special issues become available online and raise awareness of opportunities for presenting your work during InterPore2022 and publish it in the corresponding special issue.

Applied geochemistry in porous media: Interplay of chemical reactions, physical alteration, and flow phenomena

Edited by Mehdi Gharasoo, Liwei Zhang, Hang Deng

Underground resources exploitation, waste disposal and environmental remediation operations including oil and gas production, geologic CO2 storage, methane hydrate production, geothermal energy production, groundwater management, contaminant migration in soil, require in-depth understanding of complicated flow, transport, physical alteration, and geochemical processes in porous media. Powerful tools for porous media imaging have been developed to study the aforementioned processes, and a special issue has been created related to the topics covered by MS 10: Advances in imaging porous media: techniques, software and case studies at InterPore 2022.

This special issue will have a virtual special issue (VSI) publication format. In this format, papers will be published immediately once they are available online, instead of staying in “article in press” status. Each of the online paper will be assigned to the next available regular issue for publication. Simultaneously, all papers will be virtually grouped together on ScienceDirect, which is easy to navigate.
