ALERT Workshop 2014 – Call for abstracts
As announced already in October 2013, ALERT Workshop 2014 (25th Edition) will be held in Aussois from September 29 to October 1, 2014. Please submit your abstracts by email directly to the coordinators using the Workshop abstract form (doc, odt, pdf).
Since time for the presentations is limited, only a part of the submitted abstracts can be chosen for the oral presentations. Therefore, we invite you to submit your abstract as soon as possible. The presentation can also be submitted as a poster. The deadline for the abstract submission is April 30, 2014. For any communication about your participation to the workshops, please contact directly the coordinators of the workshop sessions.

Post-doctoral Position at Northwestern University
The purpose of this research project is to investigate chemical and mechanical processes in porous media subjected to reactive transport. The project will employ small scale flow experiments, X-ray microtomographic imaging, carbonate geochemistry, and classical geomechanical deformation tests to quantify the simultaneous evolution of chemical and structural attributes (e.g., pore size, particle size, mineral constituents, etc.) during reactive flow and/or loading. The experimental activities will be conducted at the Northwestern University and at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), located at the Argonne National Laboratory. The main goal of the project is to relate temporal and spatial changes in microstructural attributes to chemical and physical macroscopic quantities (e.g., permeability, stiffness, strength, precipitation/dissolution etc.).
