Gary Andersen and the ESD TOUGH Software group were winners of the LBNL Director’s Awards for Exceptional Achievement—Andersen for the PhyloChip array and the TOUGH team for supporting diverse applications and licensing of the TOUGH code.
This Thursday afternoon (3 p.m.), Dr. Elizabeth Burton, WESTCARB Technical Director, will discuss the latest news regarding carbon capture, utilization, and storage, as part of the Earth Science and Industry Seminar series.
Scientists at the Center for Nanoscale Control of Geologic CO2 love talking about their cutting-edge research. They do this, for free, as part of the NCGC Distinguished Lecturer Series, directed toward academia, societies, and industry.
A demonstration project on the southeastern tip of Australia has helped to verify that depleted natural gas reservoirs can be repurposed for geologic carbon sequestration and have enough CO2 storage capacity to make a significant contribution to reducing global emissions.
At this year’s AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, ESD will man a booth, have scientists available to talk about their work, and have an HR representative on hand to meet with people pursuing work in Earth sciences.
This past Monday, Nov. 14, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Wuhan University of China agreed (in a memorandum of understanding—MOU) to collectively explore their mutual interests in scientific education and research
ESD Director Donald J. DePaolo talks about the link between climate change and the “carbon cycle change”: the fact that Earth’s carbon cycles have undergone revolutionary change, entirely due to human burning of fossil fuels and removal of forests
ESD's Curt Oldenburg and Quanlin Zhou are part of an effort to determine whether a large fraction of Montana’s and nearby states’ CO2 emissions can be stored deep underground — where it can’t contribute to climate change.
Ernie Majer and his team are exploring ways to increase the productivity and effectiveness of energy source recovery and geologic sequestration sites, while simultaneously informing and ensuring the safety of the neighboring public.
An international scientific team, including ESD’s Barry Freifeld, was awarded $5M by DOE to combine CCS with geothermal energy extraction techniques in developing a new kind of turbine.
