Bergen Conference on Modeling and Simulation of Coupled Subsurface Dynamics
To celebrate the conclusion of our VISTA-funded Center for Modeling of Coupled Subsurface Dynamics, a conference was held on 13–14 May 2025. This event is organized in collaboration with InterPore Norway. It covers themes such as coupled deformation, reactive transport, multiphase flow, and seismic wave propagation.

The Bergen Conference on Modeling and Simulation of Coupled Subsurface Dynamics was organized in collaboration with Interpore Norway's annual meeting. The first day began with presentations given by two of the PIs in the CSD center, Morten Jakobsen and Kundan Kumar, highlighting all of the work done within the center. It was followed by many interesting talks from international researchers discussing both mathematical modeling and numerical approaches of a range of subsurface phenomena, including induced seismicity and reactive transport.
Poster presentations
On both days, there were poster sessions given by PhD students in the CSD center, and also by external PhD students.
Kimberly-Clark Lecture
The Kimberly-Clark Distinguished Lectureship Award is selected by InterPore each year, and for 2025, it was awarded to Rainer Helmig (external link) from the University of Stuttgart. During the conference, he gave a talk on the coupling between free flow and porous-medium flow. In addition, he discussed how the overall effective behaviour depends strongly on interface processes that occur on small spatial scales (pore scale), although the overall system of interest is often too large to resolve these processes explicitly in detail.
