Understanding the interaction of fluid flow with mechanical-chemical-biological-thermal processes in fractured geological formations is critical for subsurface applications including water and geothermal resource management, aquifer remediation, geologic carbon sequestration, critical mineral extraction, and radioactive waste isolation. We encourage submissions concerning mechanistic understanding and predictive capability for physical and mechanical processes in fractured media, specifically:

1. Experimental and field observations at single fracture and network scales
2. Theoretical and numerical modeling techniques including direct numerical simulations, discrete fracture network/matrix modeling, upscaling, and multi-scale methods
3. Mechanics modeling including fracture deformation, generation, and wave propagation
4. Integration of experimental data and modeling for prediction and model validation

Applications related to coupled flow and geomechanics, solute transport, mixing and reaction, fluid/mineral interactions, fracture mechanics, and biofilm formation are all welcome.
