150 Years of Darcy's Law

The Gordon Conference on Flow and Transport in Permeable media brings together researchers with a common interest in understanding physical, chemical and biological processes in porous media. The conference provides a stimulating and relaxed forum for an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas. A unique feature of this meeting is that participants from a wide variety of backgrounds and with interest in many different applications interact on an equal footing - the conference attracts petroleum engineers from both industry and academia, researchers interested in groundwater hydrology, contaminant transport and carbon storage, soil scientists, geologists, biologists, mathematicians and physicists.

In the spirit of the Gordon Conferences, the format is designed to encourage in-depth discussion with a program of morning and evening invited lectures and open discussions. Free afternoons and evening social gatherings provide ample time for more informal scientific interactions. The afternoon and evening poster sessions are an integral part of the meeting and most attendees prepare one or more posters.

Organizing Committee: Martin Blunt, Imperial College London (Chair); Dani Orr, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (Vice-chair); Majid Hassanizadeh, Utrecht University (former Chair); David DiCarlo, USDA / ARS National Sedimentation Laboratory; Mario Ioannidis, University of Waterloo; Rainer Helmig, Stuttgart University; Richelle Allen-King, University at Buffalo, SUNY; Pål-Eric Øren, Numerical Rocks; Tissa Illangasekare, Colorado School of Mines.
