We are seeking to understand the driving mechanisms and chemical consequences of fluid movements in the earth's crust. Our approach is two-pronged: First, we seek to model, using finite-difference and finite-element techniques, the movement of fluids and the chemical alteration such movement produces, in a variety of circumstances. Second, we seek to test these model predictions against observations and laboratory experiments |
