Seminar - Geopolymers: From the Earth to the Moon

Speaker: Shima Pilehvar, Department of Engineering – Østfold University College, Norway | Thursday 11 January 2024 – ore 4,30 PM | Arduino classroom

Since water is a highly valuable resource on the lunar surface and not readily available, using building materials with high water demand is practically impossible. Geopolymers consist of silico-aluminates in an amorphous to semi-crystalline three-dimensional structure and exhibit an excellent performance. 3D-printing of geopolymers produced from lunar regolith is an interesting option for space in situ habitats.

Seminar - Porous material in geological processes: From physical principles to applications

Speaker: Marc A. Hesse Department of Geological Sciences - University of Texas, Austin | Thursday 14 December 2023 – ore 4,30 PM | Arduino classroom

14.12.2023

Most geological materials are porous and the dynamics of flow, deformation, and reactions in porous media control energy and mass transport in many geological and environmental processes. I will give an overview of three projects that show case fundamental porous media research and its application to the Earth and Planetary Sciences.

Seminar - A multiscale approach to fluid-rock interaction processes from Earth’s depth to the surface

Speaker: Dr. Tommaso Tacchetto - Curtin University (Australia) | Thursday, October, 26, 2023 – 4.30 PM | Arduino Classroom

26.10.2023

In this seminar, it will be shown how the application of a suite of cutting‐edge techniques can allow us to enhance our understanding of the nanoscale manifestation of fluid‐rock interactions and their consequences for larger‐scale dynamics. The analytical workflow is applied to type localities of deep crust fluid‐melt‐rock interaction and weathering patterns of the World’s largest sites of human heritage.
