This RiMG Reviews in Mineralogy Geochemistry volume includes contributions that review experimental characterization and modeling advances in our understanding of pore scale geochemical processes The volume had its origins in a special theme session at the 2015 Goldschmidt Conference in Prague From a diversity of pore scale topics that ranged from multi scale characterization to modeling this work summarizes the state of the science in this subject Topics include modification of thermodynamics and kinetics in small pores chemo mechanical processes and how they affect porosity evolution in geological media small angle neutron scattering SANS techniques how isotopic gradients across fluid mineral boundaries can develop and how these provide insight into pore scale processes Information on an important class of models referred to as pore network and much more The material in this book is accessible for graduate students researchers and professionals in the earth material environmental hydrological and biological sciences The pore scale is readily recognizable to geochemists and yet in the past it has not received a great deal of attention as a distinct scale or environment that is associated with its own set of questions and challenges Is the pore scale merely an environment in which smaller scale molecular processes aggregate or are there emergent phenomena unique to this scale Is it simply a finer grained version of the continuum scale that is addressed in larger scale models and interpretations The scale is important because it accounts for the pore architecture within which such diverse processes as multi mineral reaction networks microbial community interaction and transport play out giving rise to new geochemical behavior that might not be understood or predicted by considering smaller or larger scales alone With an Impact Factor of 6 120 the series Reviews in Mineralogy Geochemistry is number 1 in the category Mineralogy in the 2015 Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Report Science Edition
