Notes:Previous conference titles: Dynamics of fluids in fractured rock and Dynamics of fluids and transport in fractured rock
"This monograph draws primarily from the presentations given at Session H07, "Dynamics of Fluids and Transport in Fractured Porous Media," of the Fall 2012 AGU Meeting, held in San Francisco in December 2012" -- Preface, page ix.
"The intent of this monograph is to honor the late Dr. Paul A. Witherspoon (1919-2002), for his outstanding, lifelong contribution to the field of hydrology, and his seminal influence on the development of ideas and methodologies for contemporary fractured rock hydrogeology." -- Preface, page ix.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
