Session Descriptions

Session I: Geology and Tectonics: An Overview
The purpose of this session is to provide an overview of the geologic setting in which groundwater flow, solute transport, and biochemical alterations occur. This session will consist of 3 invited, guest speakers that are considered experts in the geologic history of Newark Basin. No abstracts are solicited for oral presentations, but posters on this subject are welcome, provided that they address the geologic features that are directly relevant to groundwater flow and solute transport, or biochemical processes in the Basin. | Link |

Session II: Hydrogeologic Framework: Structural & Stratigraphic Control
The purpose of this session is to layout our contemporary, large-picture views of Newark Basin hydrogeology. In particular, we encourage presentations on general patterns of fracture distribution, conceptual models of fracture controls on groundwater flow, links between litho-stratigraphy and hydro-stratigraphy, computer simulations of general features of flow and transport, the hydraulic properties of faults, and other studies that contribute to the synthesis understanding of Newark Basin hydrogeology. | Link |

Session III: Characterizing Flow and Transport in Fractured Bedrocks: Case Studies
This session compliments Session II in that the general, conceptual models of flow and transport in Session II will be contrasted with, and perhaps questioned by, the local complexity commonly found at a particular site. We encourage presentations of site investigations that may contribute to the general body of knowledge of NB hydrogeology. Thus presentations on a wide range of topics, including approaches, methods, results and findings, are welcome. One of our goals of the workshop is to assimilate the findings from various site investigations from across the Basin, and reassess and revise our current conceptual models, and thereby advance our knowledge of NB hydrogeology to a new level. | Link |

Session IV: Subsurface Aqueous Geochemical and Biogeochemical Processes Unique to the Newark Basin
The natural aqueous geochemical and biogeochemical environments in the hydrogeologic settings in the basin are clearly controlled by the lithogeochemistry of the rocks and minerals the water contacts. Previous sessions presented climate and tectonic models that explain the paleo-depositional and hydrothermal environments that ultimately controlled the lithochemical diversity found in the basin. In this session we encourage presentations that explain and/or describe the chemical and biological processes and diversity found in ground water of the Newark Basin. | Link |
