---

Mobility of elements (eg metals, radioactive elements, fluoride, REEs) in anthropgenically influenced systems suchsuch for underground storage or at geothermal energy production sites, as well as in natural systems (supporting Topic 8).

Weathering andalteration of minerals in complex environments, such as aquifers and in sediments, convenient for pure or impure CO₂ injection, in geothermal systems as well as in the acidic or alkaline environment of volcanoes (supporting Topic 3 and 5).
