Geofluids: Origin, Migration and Evolution of Fluids in Sedimentary Basins

Geological fluids are a central theme linking the petrography and chemistry of all rock types, deformation processes on the microscopic to the continental scale, and the concentration of economic resources. The fundamental importance of fluid migration and evolution to rock composition and structure is reflected in a growing interest in fluid processes, including a series of successful conferences on water-rock interaction. The papers in this volume are intended to give a review of the whole spectrum of current geofluids research. The papers include international case studies and are written by leading experts in the field. This volume will be of interest to geologists in the oil and minerals industries and in academia, and to hydrogeologists and geochemists.
