Structural controls on basin- and crustal-scale fluid flow and resulting mineral reactions

Abstract

This preface summarizes the main contents of the special issue Structural Controls on Basin- and Crustal-Scale Fluid Flow and Resulting Mineral Reactions, organized by topic. The description of contributions starts with those addressing crustal-scale processes, followed by studies of relatively shallower fluid flow mechanisms and their consequences. The final subsection summarizes contributions on structural controls on mineral reactions, as well as those evaluating how they impact geothermal reservoir properties.
