Venue: Room 1615, Guanyun Building

Reporter Profile:

Dr. Chi Zhang is a hydrogeophysicist specializing in the study of complex fluid-rock interactions using geoelectrics, nuclear magnetic resonance, and modeling tools. Before joining the University of Vienna as a tenure-track assistant professor and group leader of Environmental Geophysics, Dr. Zhang was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geology at The University of Kansas, US. His research interests lie in understanding the tightly coupled physical, chemical, and biological processes that govern the behavior of geologic media and their constituent fluids (water, brine, CO2, and hydrocarbons) from the micro- to macro-scale. Currently, Dr. Zhang's work focuses on understanding water distribution, weathering, and geochemical fluxes in carbonate rocks. He has published as the first or corresponding author in leading geophysics journals such as Geophysics, Journal of Geophysical Research, Water Resources Research, Geophysical Research Letters, Environmental Science and Technology, and others.
