Sixth IMA Conference on Modelling Permeable Rocks

With Special Focus on CO2 Storage

Integrating Geology and Mathematics for Groundwater, Environment and Petroleum Applications

First Call for Papers

This conference provides an excellent opportunity for people from different disciplines (geology, statistics, mathematics and engineering) to share ideas on modelling permeable and fractured rocks. The emphasis will be on new developments in the mathematical modelling of geological patterns for the purposes of improving prediction of flow and hydro-mechanical behaviour rather than on purely descriptive work. For the 6th Conference in the series, we shall have a special focus on modelling requirements for the geological storage of CO2. However, we shall also include applications for the oil industry, hydrogeology and nuclear waste disposal.

We invite you to submit a one page abstract for the conference on the topics listed below. The format for these abstracts is available on the IMA website: http://www.ima.org.uk/mathematics/proceedings

Abstracts should be submitted online at http://online.ima.org.uk or emailed to the conference officer: amy.marsh@ima.org.uk

Closing date for Abstracts: 30th October 2009
Notification of Acceptance: December 2009
