Migration 2007

Scope

The MIGRATION conferences focus on recent developments in the fundamental chemistry of actinides, fission and activation products in natural aquifer systems, their interactions and migration in the geosphere, and the processes involved in modelling their geochemical behaviour.

The sessions in MIGRATION‘07 cover the following areas:

A Aquatic chemistry of actinides and fission products

  1. Solubility and dissolution
  2. Solid solution and secondary phase formation
  3. Complexation with inorganic and organic ligands
  4. Redox reactions and radiolysis effects
  5. Solid-water interface reactions
  6. Colloid formation
  7. Experimental methods

B Migration behaviour of radionuclides

  1. Sorption/desorption phenomena in dynamic systems
  2. Diffusion and other migration processes
  3. Colloid migration
  4. Effects of biological and organic materials
  5. Field and large scale experiments
  6. Natural Analogues

C Geochemical and transport modelling

  1. Data selection and evaluation
  2. Coupling chemistry and transport
  3. Development and application of models
  4. Model validation

SPECIAL SESSION: Organic Matter Modelling

A special session will be arranged together with the organisers of the 1st International Workshop on Organic Matter Modeling (WOMM'05), Toulon, France, 2005. This session will specifically deal with latest developments and applications of metal ion and notably of radionuclide interaction with natural organic matter and modelling concepts.
