The bi-annual Gordon Conference on Flow and Transport in Permeable Media provides a unique forum for interactions among leading professionals from academia, industry, and government representing a variety of backgrounds including petroleum engineering, hydrology, mathematics, geology, chemical engineering, material sciences, biology and biomedical engineering sharing common interest in physical, chemical, and biological processes in porous media. The 2008 FTPM meeting will highlight issues related to CO₂ storage in geologic formations, transport of colloids and nanoparticles, advances in reservoir simulation, multiphase transport, engineered and evolving pore spaces, observational methods for porous media, flows in biological permeable media, and other advanced topics. The speakers in the upcoming meeting are challenged with presenting provocative and new cutting edge science and ideas. Following the presentations, ample time is scheduled to allow for stimulating discussions in a relaxed and truly interdisciplinary forum. Young scientists and graduate students are particularly encouraged to present their work in several poster sessions and to take active part in the discussions and exchange of ideas.
