I am participating in the annual charity bike ride to Alaska with the organization Texas4000. The group has raised more than $3 million towards cancer research, and I have already exceeded my fundraising goal of $5,000. There are two routes, Coastal and Rockies, and I will be on the Rockies team. I look forward to returning to the GCCC in the fall to complete my Masters thesis.
While there are a number of issues crucial to the deployment of permanent carbon sequestration, my personal interests focus on the range and applicability of sequestration processes, informed capacity calculations, and project development and execution. After attending the Sixth Annual International Energy Agency Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Conference in Natchez, Mississippi, I recognize the importance of developing effective monitoring strategies and technologies, outreach, and legislative/regulatory factors for the ultimate success of the CCS industry. I look forward to broadening my exposure to the integration of technical advances and policy implementation, with particular emphasis in four major areas:
- accurate estimates and execution of efficiency factor calculations
- emerging capacity calculation theory specifically related to dynamic computation
- understanding of trapping mechanism processes
- effects of formation characteristics in relation to site selection
DOE funded MegaTransect Project assessing capacity in the Gulf of Mexico for potential future sequestration
Sequestration assessment with Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA), which involves building a Petra database in order to analyze field and formation options for potential sequestration for LCRA in the future
