Geological fluids are a central theme linking the petrographyand chemistry of all rock types, deformation processes on themicroscopic to the continental scale, and the concentrationof economic resources. The fundamental importance of fluid migrationand evolution to rock composition and structure is reflectedin a growing interest in fluid processes, including a seriesof successful conferences on water-rock interaction. he papersin this volume are intended to give a review of the whole spectrumof current geofluids research. The papers include internationalcase studies and are written by leading experts in the field.
