Abstract:Micro‐organisms are known to change fluid flow and permeability processes in subsurface environments, but this has only been demonstrated for coarse‐grained sediments and fractures. For fine‐grained sediments (mudstones), little is known about the effects of micro‐organisms on hydromechanical properties. Here, we investigated the influence of micro‐organisms on the porosity, permeability, and compressibility of fine‐grained sediments. We performed resedimentation experiments with and without micro‐organisms ad… Show more
