Geosystems represent a major strategic resource for the ongoing transition toward cleaner and carbon-free energy production and waste management. Energy production and waste storage in geological media often involve complex multiphysical conditions in the porous rock, where changes in pore pressure, temperature, and strain of the solid skeleton are superposed to chemical reactions. Understanding and predicting field data associated with thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical processes requires integration of advanced experimental, analytical, and numerical approaches. Applications include (but are not limited to) carbon capture and storage (CCS), enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), gas storage, reservoir stimulation, hydro-fracturing/shearing, fluid injection induced seismicity, and radioactive waste storage. Contributions from analytical, experimental, geological, seismological, and numerical studies are welcomed in this session.
