Overview: Porous media are ubiquitous throughout nature and in manymodern technologies. Because of their omnipresent nature, porous mediaare studied to one degree or another in almost all branches of scienceand engineering. This text is an outgrowth of a two-semester graduatecourse on multiscale porous media offered to students in applied math,physics, chemistry, engineering (civil, chemical, mechanical,agricultural), and environmental and soil science. The text is largelybased on Dr Cushmans‘ groups efforts to build a rational approach tostudying porous media over a hierarchy of spatial and t
