Geological Storage as a Carbon Mitigation Option

Darcy Lecturer / Michael Celia

Thursday, October 2, 2008 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Prof Celia's area of research include ground water hydrology, ecohydrology, numerical modeling, contaminant transport simulation, and multiphase flow physics. Ongoing projects include pore-scale network modeling to study interface dynamics, reactive transport, and scaling in porous media systems; computational studies of plant responses to variations in soil moisture in water-stressed ecosystems, with a focus on application in sub-Saharan Africa; and studies associated with large-scale injection of CO_2 into deep brine formations as a possible mitigation strategy for the atmospheric carbon problem. The carbon work is part of a large multidisciplinary effort at Princeton known as the Carbon Mitigation Initiative. Celia served for 10 years as editor of the journal/Advances in Water Resources/. He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and receipient of the 2005 AGU Hydrologic Sciences Award.
