EGU 2025- Fluid-rock interactions: interplays, processes and tracers
(TS1.4, Co-organized by EMRP1/GMPV3)
Fluid-rock interactions play a pivotal role in shaping crustal dynamics and
influencing subsurface engineering processes. From the shallow sedimentary
rocks down to the deep magmatic and metamorphic rocks, fluids govern
aspects such as deformation localization, earthquake genesis, and the
emergence of metamorphic reactions and rheological weakening. In most
cases, there is a dynamic feedback between fluids, deformation and
metamorphism at all scales. Fluids are critical not only for creating
robust models of the solid Earth but also for advancing subsurface
engineering endeavors like geothermal energy recovery, hydrogen storage and
extraction as well as permanent carbon storage.
As we navigate through the ongoing energy transition, enhancing these
interactions for maximum geo-resource efficacy is a vital priority. The
legacy inscribed within rock records paints a vivid picture of intricate
interplay between mineral reactions, fluid flow and deformation—testaments
to the often-intense nature of fluid-rock interactions.
This session aims to draw the current picture of the advances and
challenges, whether conceptual, methodological, or experimental when
considering the role of fluid-rock interactions. We invite contributions
that utilize an array of methodologies, ranging from natural observations,
microstructural assessments, and geochemical analyses to rock mechanics,
all intertwined with modelling techniques. This modelling can span from ab
initio simulations to continuum scale simulations, ensuring a comprehensive
exploration of fluid-rock/mineral interactions. Contributions that harness
the power of artificial intelligence and its subsets are particularly
encouraged.
