SUMMARY:At the Edge of Reactivity: Exploring the Dynamics of Fluid-Mineral
  Interactions - Oliver Plumper\, Utrecht University

DESCRIPTION:Determining the dynamics of reactive fluid-rock interaction is
  critical for uncovering the geochemical and geodynamic evolution of the l
 ithosphere and their application in industries like CO2 storage and geothe
 rmal energy development. Geological evidence suggests that fluid-rock inte
 ractions can self-generate fluid pathways\, forming a transient network of
  pores and fractures through mineral replacement reactions. In my presenta
 tion\, I will highlight our recent research on: (1) the extent of crystall
 ization forces in positive solid volume-changing replacement reactions\, e
 ssential for reaction-induced fracturing\, (2) the impact of nanoconfineme
 nt on the physical properties of geofluids and its influence on rock react
 ivity\, and (3) the latest advances in combining 4D (3D plus time) synchro
 tron X-ray tomography with advanced deep-learning techniques and statistic
 al microstructural analysis to track transient phenomena in evolving porou
 s media.
