Katharine Romanak, Changbing Yang, and Susan Hovorka received the Tinker Publication of the Year Award for 2013 from Bureau Director Scott Tinker for their paper "Process-Based Approach to CO2 Leakage Detection by Vadose Zone Gas Monitoring at Geologic CO2 Storage Sites," which was published in Geophysical Research Letters. The award, given to authors of the year's top peer-reviewed Bureau publication, was presented at the annual Authors Dinner on April 25. More than 40 authors of 70 peer-reviewed manuscripts were recognized at the event. Runners-up included J.-P. Nicot and Bridget Scanlon for "Water Use for Shale-Gas Production in Texas, U.S.," published in Environmental Science and  Technology, and Julia Schneider Reece, Peter B. Flemings, Brandon Dugan, Hui Long, and John T. Germaine, for "Permeability-Porosity Relationships of Shallow Mudstones in the Ursa Basin, Northern Deepwater Gulf of Mexico," published in the Journal of Geophysical Research. Almost 60 years separated the youngest first author's age from that of the most seasoned veteran, Jerry Lucia (pictured at left), who published two peer-reviewed manuscripts last year. |
