- We apologize for cross mailing - Dear Colleagues, this is a call for abstracts for the session: Impact of temperature on bentonite barrier systems based on findings from in situ experiments in the context of radioactive waste disposal. Our session particularly deals with understanding of the effects of different temperatures (below and above 100°C) on bentonite buffer materials. Invited Keynote speech: Ana María Fernández from CIEMAT, Spain, will give an Invited Keynote speech about results from field experiments covering the tempearture-related clay mineralogy and pore water processes below and above 100°C on bentonite buffer materials. The XVIII International Clay Conference (ICC) will take place in Dublin, Ireland from 13th to 18th of July 2025 (https://icc.aipea.org/). The deadline for abstract submission is approaching (11th April 2025). We invite you to participate with a scientific contribution as a poster or oral presentation to the session: https://icc.aipea.org/icc-21/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icc.aipea.org/icc-21/__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!Q5kUEPES0qzx1IYLbHL8m8YpGxi58d5SOVzxVkkYcBRSxrAR5XXOt7BNq87AB0LBQeP1wyfj1e-5v6NPjNnBUKfx3MVm-IjbJHStT2WrJVcFQw$> We look forward to seeing you in Dublin in July.
