The main objective of the Cargèse Summer School is to provide an overview of the fundamental processes and recent theoretical and methodological advances on the flows, solute and energy transport, and biogeochemical reactions in porous media. fractured.

For this edition, we will explore more specifically the role of these processes in the critical zone, in collaboration with the research infrastructure OZCAR (observatories network of the French critical zone) and the project equipex CRITEX ( https: // www.critex.fr ). It will also present the state of the art of current applications, such as global water management, hydro-ecology, geothermal energy, sequestration of carbon dioxide, induced seismicity problems, the intrusion of saline waters, remediation of contaminated soils and risk assessment of underground storage of radioactive waste and exploitation of shale gas.

The content of the school has been designed to allow participants from various communities to acquire the basic knowledge in this field and to know the latest scientific advances at the frontier of current research. The daily program will consist of two one-hour fundamental courses on fundamental processes and three 45-minute specialized courses dedicated to the latest developments in research. TPs will also be organized on i) numerical methods, ii) laboratory imaging, iii) innovative ground measurements in hydrogeophysics. Each participant will have the opportunity to present their research work during a poster session. The Cargèse site is particularly favorable to informal interactions between participants and speakers.
