Symposium organizer Linda Ruiz McCall discusses her poster with Mark Blount, in charge of Bureau External and Governmental Affairs.
There are few better opportunities to understand the breadth and diversity of the Bureau’s research enterprise, or for researchers to interact with one another and learn more about the fascinating work of their colleagues, than at the annual Bureau Research Symposium. Organized for the fourth year by Information Geologist Linda McCall, and implemented by a team that included David Stephens, Kenneth Edwards, Jennifer Edwards, Dennis Campa, and Kim LaValley, the recently held event showcased posters illustrating research efforts ranging from the western chicken turtle’s loss of wetland habitat to the question of whether ion milling might actually cause composition changes to rock samples being prepared for a scanning electron microscope.
Best Poster awards were presented to Behzad Ghanbarian for “Permeability in Disordered Porous Rocks: Upscaling Techniques from Statistical Physics”; Reza Ganjdanesh and Seyyed Hosseini for “EASiTool: An Enhanced Analytical Simulation Tool for Storage Capacity Estimation”; and Luca Trevisan, Tip Meckel, and Prasanna Krishnamurthy for “Developing a Predictive Method for Local Capillary Trapping Capacity Estimation of CO2 Using Invasion Percolation Simulations in Realistic 3D Numerical Lithofacies Models.”
Please join us in congratulating these accomplished Bureau researchers.
