This is a satisfactory (S) / not
satisfactory (N) course only, so you will pass if you come to the seminar, present/summarize
papers, and participate in discussions. We will all take turns in presenting/summarizing
papers but everybody is required to read all papers. The first 5 sessions (in January +
February) are lectures to introduce principles of coupled heat and fluid flow. These
lectures are accompanied by readings of sections in the textbook as indicated below. |

| Course
Description: |
| |
In this 2-credit once-a-week seminar we will
discuss principles of coupled heat and fluid flow in the Earth's crust and their
applications to geologic processes. The seminar will consist of two parts. During the
first few weeks I will introduce some basic principles of fluid and heat flow in porous
and fractured media which will be accompanied by readings of chapters in textbooks.
Thereafter we will read relevant classic and recent research papers covering both
principles and applications of heat and fluid transfer. Depending on the participants'
backgrounds and interests the topics may include: fundamentals of fluid flow in porous and
fractured media; advection, diffusion, and dispersion of heat (as well as solutes, noble
gases, and chemicals); multiphase fluid flow; geothermal and hydrothermal systems such as
volcanoes and mid ocean ridges; hot springs; geothermal energy; using heat as natural
groundwater flow tracers; and the effects of groundwater and heat on geologic processes
such as faulting and seismicity. |
