Dear Colleague, We sincerely invite you to submit an abstract to our session “Chemical and Isotopic Characterization and Quantification of Biologically-mediated Geochemical Processes in the Subsurface” at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting.
Please find the session description below: Increasing recognition of the significant role that biological processes play in shaping subsurface environments ranging from shallow soils to deep groundwater aquifers and oil reservoirs has led to a rapid increase in chemical and isotopic data collected to study the extent and importance of biologically-mediated geochemical processes. However, due to the complexity of subsurface systems and the wide variety of possible microbial responses to belowground conditions, sophisticated tools, specialized experiments and numerical simulations are often necessary to explain the data collected in these studies. This session serves as a platform to discuss novel experimental and modeling approaches designed to interpret these data. Contributions focused on field scale applications including (but not limited to) unsaturated zone soils, groundwater systems, subsurface contaminant transport and enhanced hydrocarbon recovery are welcomed. This session is under the Biogeosciences section, co-sponsor by Earth and Planetary Surface Processes and Hydrology. More information on session can be found at: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/webprogrampreliminary/Session3589.html We look forward to your contributions towards this session. Yours Sincerely, Conveners Yiwei Cheng (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) Mark E Conrad (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) Christopher G Hubbard (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)
