Fluid-solid interactions and diagenesis: processes and sustainable applications
LECTURERS: Prof. A. Foubert, Prof. Dr. E. Schwarzenbach, Dr. Moritz Liesegang
SCOPE:Learn about the processes and mechanisms of fluid-solid reactions in different environments and at different conditions by combining theoretical background with practical exercises (e.g., microscopy, paragenetic sequences, geochemical/petrophysical analysis) and laboratory experiments. The mechanistic understanding and characterization of fluid-solid reactions will be trained through hands-on examples essential for a wide range of sustainable applications in the transition towards a green society.

CONTENTS:This course will involve lectures presenting different aspects of fluid-solid interaction processes from low temperature diagenetic processes to high temperature orogenic processes. The course includes each week 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of practical exercises (incl. the combined use of different techniques in microscopy, geochemistry, petrophysics and reactive transport mechanisms) and/or laboratory experiments that will be carried out in groups. The laboratory experiments will subsequently be analyzed using different analytical techniques, for example XRD and/or SEM.
ASSESSMENT:Presentation and continuous evaluation
