Although expensive and time consuming, laboratory measurements are commonly used to calibrate geophysical methods. Common geophysical methods can record seismic, gravity, or electromagnetic signals.  These data are collected with the intent to estimate rock or fluid properties in the subsurface. Estimations are more accurate if we understand how changes in rock or fluid properties affect our measured geophysical signals.

A novel approach to calibration relies on digital rock physics (DRP), which instead involves performing numerical experiments on digital samples. This consists of two parts: constructing a digital sample, and then using it to estimate properties by means of numerical simulations.   This field is rapidly evolving. The goal of the session is to gather the state-of-the-art modelling techniques and DRP methods with an emphasis on benchmarking between laboratory measurements and numerical modelling. We encourage participants to publish their benchmarks on https://www.digitalrocksportal.org for open source access.
