Title: Evolution of subsurface fluid-rock-microbial systems over geologic timescales
Jennifer McIntosh is the Thomas Meixner Endowed Chair, Professor, University Distinguished Scholar, and Associate Department Head of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona (UA). She has published over 120 papers on the geochemistry of geochemistry of fresh to saline fluids to constrain sources, residence times, biogeochemical reactions, and flow paths of waters, solutes, and gases in the earth’s shallow crust.
Our understanding of how complex subsurface porous and fractured rock, fluid, and microbe systems are coupled and have dynamically evolved over geologic time is limited. This talk will highlight recent work on the distribution of permeability and porosity at global scales and zoom in to regional- and pore-scale examples of how subsurface microbe-rock-fluid systems have… (full abstract).
