CAREER: The role of multiscale fracture-matrix exchange and flow channelization on solute — NSF Award to University of Wisconsin-M

Fractures in underground rock formations significantly influence how water, solutes, and colloids move through the subsurface. These processes are crucial to addressing real-world challenges such as ensuring drinking water quality; providing sufficient water quantity for consumption, agriculture, and industrial purpose

AbstractFractures in underground rock formations significantly influence how water, solutes, and colloids move through the subsurface. These processes are crucial to addressing real-world challenges such as ensuring drinking water quality; providing sufficient water quantity for consumption, agriculture, and industrial purposes; and managing geothermal energy, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and natural gas storage resources. However, the complexity of fractured rock systems makes them difficult to study and
