Description
Among the most important and exciting current steps forward in geo-engineering is the development of coupled numerical models. They represent
the basic physics of geo-engineering processes which can include the effects of heat, water, mechanics and chemistry. Such models provide
an integrating focus for the wide range of geo-engineering disciplines.
The articles within this volume were originally presented
at the inaugural GeoProc conference held in Stockholm and contain a collection of unusually high quality information not available elsewhere
in an edited and coherent form. This collection not only benefits from the latest theoretical developments but also applies them to a
number of practical and wide ranging applications. Examples include the environmental issues around radioactive waste disposal deep in
rock, and the search for new reserves of oil and gas.
