Call for 2024 Conference Courses

We welcome submission of proposals for Conference Courses at InterPore2024. Courses will be organized as satellite events of the InterPore Annual Meeting in Qingdao on the following dates:

• Sunday, 12 May 2024
• Friday, 17 May 2024

Standard duration of a given course will be half a day (3-hour lecture). Proposals for non-standard duration, if well justified, will be considered.

Invited speaker

In anticipation of InterPore2024, we’re introducing the invited speakers in today’s and forthcoming Newsletters and Bulletins. This week: Catherine A. Peters

Orthogonally different mineral reactions, same outcome of permeability reduction: How can this be?

Catherine Peters is the Magee Professor of Geosciences and Geological Engineering in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Princeton University. Dr. Peters is an expert in environmental chemistry and geochemistry, known for her leadership in sustainable energy technologies.

Sustainable energy technologies that involve subsurface gas storage require reliable containment of buoyant fluids. An example is geologic carbon sequestration in which large volumes of CO2 are injected deep underground. In our work, two orthogonally different mineral reaction scenarios were explored. In one case minerals precipitated and in the other case minerals dissolved, but both cases had the same outcome of reduced fracture permeability. How can this be? These studies show that … continue reading

Did you know… Qingdao?

InterPore2024 will be in Qingdao. Described as a city of “red tiles green trees, blue sky, and blue sea.” Qingdao has a lot of things to offer with respect to science, science history and porous media.

Laoshan Mountain is located in the northeast of Qingdao City. It is a national scenic spot and a world cultural and natural heritage site. Laoshan Mountain is famous for its beautiful natural scenery, profound cultural heritage, and unique Taoist culture.

The main peak of Laoshan Mountain is 1,133 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest peaks on the coast of China. The mountain is covered with dense forests, clear streams, and spectacular waterfalls. There are also many ancient temples and Taoist shrines, such as the Taiqing Palace and Yuqing Palace. These buildings not only reflect the essence of ancient Chinese architectural art but also integrate the cultural connotations of Taoism.

What’s more, Laoshan Green Tea is a unique Chinese green tea produced in Laoshan Mountain. It has a mellow taste, rich aroma, emerald-green color and abundant nutrients, making it one of the famous teas in China.

The InterPore2024 Bulletin provides regular updates on the InterPore2024 conference and is part of the InterPore Newsletter mailings.
