Research
and Student Publications
Our passion is physical
hydrogeology! Past and current research projects have embraced a wide spectrum
of stimulating subjects (listed below) in hydrogeological
science:
Coupled effects between fluid flow and rock deformation
Role of fluid flow in basin-scale
geologic processes
Fluid flow and contaminant transport in fractured porous media
Tectonic effects on groundwater flow
and heat transfer related to the safety of nuclear-waste repositories
Marine hydrogeology and petroleum
generation/migration
Surface water and groundwater
interaction, water resource management
The following publications are all coauthored by past and present students and postdocs working in Shemin Ge’s group, which will give you some ideas about the types and quality of research are being conducted. For a complete list of Shemin Ge’s publication go to Publications (some with PDF links)
