Organizers: Jennifer L. Druhan, University of Illinois and Christophe Tournassat, French Geological Survey, Orléans (BRGM). This workshop will cover the diversity of applications which have developed since the 1996 RiMG volume 34 on reactive transport, with emphasis on principles now employed to address a wide variety of natural and engineered systems across diverse spatial and temporal scales, in tandem with advances in computational capacity, quantitative imaging and reactive interface characterization techniques.
