Yoon Research Group

We research fluid flow and reactive transport in geologic systems, with an emphasis on the coupled interactions between geologic structure, fluid flow dynamics, solute transport, geochemical reactions, and microbial processes. Our research aims to advance understanding of how these interconnected processes regulate environment, shape ecosystems, and affect water and energy resources.

Current research topics include:

• Biofilm dynamics in porous media
• Surface water and groundwater interactions in karst aquifers
• Hydro-biogeochemical controls on greenhouse gas cycling in carbonate critical zones
• Data assimilation and machine learning applications for hydrogeological characterization
