Description
The workshop will address current and future challenges and research directions facing geochemistry to contribute to the rapid development of a sustainable environment. The workshop will provide an overview of recent geochemical development, from analysis to modeling, for the exploration and production field, for new energy resource assessment and for carbon subsurface storage. Geochemical analytical and numerical approaches will be illustrated on application cases. The objective is to address and to take the opportunity to discuss in depth the future challenges we will face to move faster and better towards a decarbonized world.
Participant Profile
The target audience is geoscientists from industry and academia who are interested in improving knowledge about new advances in geochemistry and geomodelling in a sustainable framework and exchanged on new research issues.
