Water-rock Interaction Xiii : A Conference on the Geochemistry of Fluids and Minerals
The 13th International Symposium on Water-Rock Interaction (WRI-13) was held in Tomsk, Russia, from August 10 to 15, 2023. The conference brought together more than 300 scientists from 35 countries to discuss the latest advances in the study of water-rock interaction, a field that explores the chemical and physical processes that occur when water interacts with rocks and minerals in various environments.
The conference covered a wide range of topics, such as hydrothermal systems, geothermal energy, mineral resources, environmental geochemistry, biogeochemistry, isotopes, modeling, and analytical techniques. The participants presented their research findings in oral and poster sessions, as well as in special workshops and field trips. The conference also featured keynote lectures by eminent experts in the field, such as Prof. Susan L. Brantley from Pennsylvania State University, USA, Prof. Eric H. Oelkers from University College London, UK, and Prof. Boris R. Tagirov from Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, Russia.
The conference proceedings were published in a two-volume book titled \"Water-Rock Interaction Xiii \", edited by Prof. Yury V. Kharaka from U.S. Geological Survey, USA, Prof. Nikolay A. Kazakov from Tomsk Polytechnic University, Russia, and Prof. Irina S. Zektser from Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia. The book contains 212 peer-reviewed papers that reflect the state-of-the-art knowledge and research in water-rock interaction. The book is available online at https://www.wri13.org/proceedings.
The WRI-13 conference was a great success and a valuable opportunity for the scientific community to exchange ideas and foster collaborations in water-rock interaction. The next WRI conference (WRI-14) will be held in 2026 in Foz do IguaÃu, Brazil.Water-rock interaction is a vital field of research that has important implications for various geo-environmental issues, such as groundwater quality, geothermal energy, mineral resources, and carbon sequestration. Gas-water-rock interactions play indispensable roles in the evolution of geo-environmental issues. For example, the accurate prediction of groundwater flow and contaminant transport requires a profound understanding of physicochemical processes that occur among liquid, solid, and gas phases[^1^].
Water-rock interaction research also contributes to the exploration of the origin and evolution of life on Earth and other planets. By studying the chemical and isotopic signatures of water and rocks in different geological settings, scientists can infer the past and present conditions of the biosphere and the geosphere, and their interactions. Water-rock interaction research also helps to understand the role of water in shaping the surface and subsurface features of planets, such as volcanoes, geysers, hot springs, and caves. aa16f39245
