“…Following, Galley et al (2015) used MRI to capture static images of chimneys and brine inclusions in samples of sea ice. Using a spraying setup within an MRI scanner, Wilbur et al (2020) imaged the freezing of sea spray, a hazard for off-shore structures and vessels in cold regions. Here, we focus on the potential of flow MRI to study intricate details of laboratory analogs of geological flows, rather than coarser and static measurements in the field.…”

Summary Geological flows—from mudslides to volcanic eruptions—are often opaque and consist of multiple interacting phases. Scaled laboratory geological experiments using analog materials have often been limited to optical imaging of flow exteriors or ex situ measurements. Geological flows often include internal phase transitions and chemical reactions that are difficult to image externally. Thus, many physical mechanisms underlying geological flows remain unknown, hindering model development. We propose using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to enhance geosciences via non-invasive, in situ measurements of 3D flows. MRI is currently used to characterize the interior dynamics of multiphase flows, distinguishing between different chemical species as well as gas, liquid, and solid phases, while quantitatively measuring concentration, velocity, and diffusion fields. This perspective describes the potential of MRI techniques to image dynamics within scaled geological flow experiments and the potential of technique development for geological samples to be transferred to other disciplines utilizing MRI.
