Kind regards, Judith --- Apologies for cross-posting. Dear colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to the session "*S.6 -* *Geofluids and their influence on deformation*" at the upcoming *GeoMod 2018* international conference (*Barcelona, Spain, 2-4 October 2018*). GeoMod is a biennial international conference dedicated to latest advances in numerical and analogue modelling and laboratory techniques in Geosciences. More information about the conference, abstract submission and the full session details can be found at GeoMod website (here ). Please note that the abstract submission deadline is the 18th of June. *Session: S6 - Geofluids and their influence on deformation* *Keynote speakers: Yury Podladchikov *(University of Lausanne, Switzerland)**and*Chiara Cornelio *(EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland)* * *Session description:* Fluids are intimately linked to a variety of deformation processes and they exert a strong control on the long-term compositional and structural evolution of intact and fractured sedimentary rocks. Besides the nowadays recognized role of fluid pressures in affecting the mechanical strength of rocks, it has become more apparent that fluids likely exert additional mechanical influence via diverse hydro-chemical effects. The quantification of these processes is especially of relevance within current research applied to safe exploration and usage of energy and mineral resources from the underground. This session is intended as a scientific platform to present and discuss advances and challenges in modelling of coupled physical processes in geological settings, it aims to stimulate new ideas for future work. We invite contributions that range from innovative laboratory and analogue experiments, analytical solutions and mathematical model applications to the discussion of an improved way to understand (i) fluid flow, permeability, fluid conductivity; (ii) electrical properties, conductivity, resistivity and permittivity in both real and complex domains; (iii) heat flow, geothermal states, thermal conductivity and diffusivity; (iv) transport of energy by elastic waves, velocities and dispersion of pressure shear and other types of elastic wave; and (v) fractured and intact materials. Contributions about coupling mechanism of THMC processes in intact and fractured reservoir rocks are of special interest. *Location: Barcelona, Spain* ** *Dates: 2-4 October, 2018* *Abstract submission deadline: 18 June, 2018* ?Please don't hesitate to contact the conveners should you have any questions.

We would be happy if you could forward this to potential candidates. Many thanks! Kind regards, Judith ---- * Public Job Advertisement* * * Since October 2015, the DFG International Research Training Group ?Surface processes, Tectonics and Georecources in the Andean Foreland Basin of Argentina? (StRATEGy) is established at the University of Potsdam?and runs in cooperation with the GFZ German Research Centre for Geoscience and our Argentinian partner universities in Buenos Aires, Salta, Jujuy, and Tucum?n. ?StRATEGy? aims to conduct an interdisciplinary study of the source-to-sink system of the Argentinian Andes. Our study addresses the complex relationships between tectonics, climate, erosion, sediment deposition, and?the environmental conditions prone to the generation, migration, and accumulation of hydrocarbon resources and metallogenesis. The foreland and the transition to the Andean orogen interior is characterized by ongoing,?yet highly diachronous and spatially disparate tectonism, in addition to pronounced contrasts in relief, rainfall, and erosion. These characteristics make this region an outstanding natural laboratory to study surface processes?and their tectonic and climatic forcing factors that impact sediment production and mass-transfer on multiple spatiotemporal scales. *10 Academic Staff Member* *Req.
