* The idea of this paper came out of my PhD course on poromechanics when together with Mahdi Razavifar, we were reviewing, the John Nimmo's chapter on porosity and pore size distribution, we understood the importance of a critical assessment and comparison of various state of the art methods from CT and micro-CT imaging and NMR to Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP) for pore and throat size distribution analysis and porous media characterization. The work was not possible without great contributions from other colleagues in Iran (Shiraz University) and Russia (Skoltech) who joined us to make it possible.
