Microbe-mineral-fluid interactions: Case studies from natural environments, industrial problems and arctic biogeochemical processes 

Presented by Dr. Jenine McCutcheon, School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds

Abstract: Microbial processes influence geochemical reaction pathways in a range of natural and engineered environments. These processes often result in the precipitation, alteration, or dissolution of mineral phases, thereby also altering the chemistry of the surrounding fluid.
