Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to consider submitting an abstract to our
session: "06f - Geochemical reactions and interfacial dynamics across
scales: Experimental, computational, and AI-driven advances

The physics and chemistry of geochemical systems define a rapidly evolving
frontier in Earth and environmental sciences. This session brings together
experimental, computational, and data-driven perspectives to unravel the
mechanisms that govern geochemical reactions, mineral transformations, and
interfacial dynamics across multiple spatial and temporal scales. From
amorphous precursors to crystalline minerals, and from nanoscale
interfacial reactions to field-scale geochemical processes, we aim to
advance an integrated understanding of how complex mineral–fluid systems
evolve. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
(1) Mineral-water, organic-mineral interactions, and biomineralization
(2) Amorphous and metastable intermediates and nonclassical crystallization
(3) Mineral dissolution and weathering
(4) Geochemistry of critical elements, connecting nanoscale to macroscopic
rates
(5) Coupled experimental–computational–AI workflows for predicting mineral
reactivity under subsurface environments.
By integrating cutting-edge experimental methods, advanced modeling, and
AI-enabled approaches, this session aims to illuminate the multiscale
dynamics that govern geochemical transformations, enabling predictive
understanding of mineral evolution in various systems, including
weathering, hydrothermal alteration, carbon storage, and engineered
subsurface environments.
