Fluid Net

Research network studying fluids in the Earth's continental crust from nano to macroscale and diverse timescales. EU Horizon 2020-MSC grant agreement No 956127.

Fluids, and in particular water, next to the solid components represent a key component in the Earth's continental crust because water can act as a solvent, a catalyst enhancing chemical reactions, a transport medium for mass transport, and it controls the strength of rocks.

[Fluid Net @fluid_net]

On our 2nd conference day, we explored fluids in the deep continental crust, the mobilization of critical elements, and the need for new resources in Europe, to support the energy transition.

[Fluid Net @fluid_net]

On our first conference day, talks ranged from fluid-rock interaction, fluid transport pathways, mineral precipitation, utilisation of AI, radioactive waste disposal, elemental mobility, isotopic geochemistry, earthquakes, alteration phenomena and ore deposits.

Last but not least, PhD student @EOdaCosta presenting her modelling results about how different peritectic phases affect the enrichment of melts in critical elements.

[Fluid Net @fluid_net]

Another FluidNET Student with a poster - Dörte Jordan - showcased her research about modelling subsurface mass transfer using GIS built-in statistical modules. Discussions and feedback were vibrant and fruitful.

Also on Tuesday, another PhD student from fluidNET - Maude Julia - presented her experimental results about the replacement of calcium carbonate for cadmium capture @goldschmidt2023

[Fluid Net @fluid_net]

Our PhDs are showing their work in the @goldschmidt2023 ! This Tuesday morning Sander Hoogendoorn talked about Ar-Ar ages of the Agly massif

We are so very happy to announce we will host a FluidNET International Conference covering topics related to fluids in the Earth: from the nanoscale to deep crustal metamorphism.

[Fluid Net @fluid_net]

The conference will be held in the Aquila Atlantis Hotel, Heraklion, Crete 🇬🇷, over 3 full days, Tuesday – Thursday 19-21 March 2024 with a field trip on Friday 22 March 2024.
