Abstract
I will talk about pore-scale physics controlling solute transport and crystallization in porous media and how these processes control the global-scale responses with a particular focus on the issue of soil salinization. To do so, a variety of experimental and numerical tools such as SEM imaging, synchrotron X-ray tomography, thermal imaging, continuum-scale modelling, customized macro-scale laboratory experiments, and machine learning algorithms were utilized.
