  2. 🔬 Metasomatic Zonation as a Model of Groundwater Contamination

    One of the key theoretical bases in my research is the classical metasomatic zonation model (Korzhinskii, 1960s).

    I interpret the contamination halo formed by mine waters not as passive dispersion — but as an active metasomatic system, where aggressive fluids drive alteration and re-precipitation reactions within the carbonate aquifer.

    Highly mineralized mine waters create a complex interaction front.
    Thermodynamic modeling (based on well-monitoring data) allows identification of several geochemical zones partly analogous to Korzhinskii’s metasomatic sequence.

    📊 The image shows my preliminary zoning concept.

    Calling #Theil's #inequality measure an "#entropy" irritated #AmartyaSen. From Amartya Sen's "#OnEconomicInequality" (#OEI) I learned a lot about #InequalityMeasures. But entropy seems not do go down too well with him (1973) and his co-author #JamesEricFoster (1997): When describing the "interesting" "#TheilEntropy" (chapter 2.11), Sen sees a contradiction between entropy being a measure of "#disorder" in #thermodynamics and entropy being a measure for "#equality".
