Reminder and noticed that the Geoengineering google group was inadvertently missing from the list for this announcement!

Healthy Planet Action Coalition (HPAC) Meeting Presentation, Thursday,  February 8, 4:30 pm Eastern

Topic: Carbon Capture - Monitoring, Safety, and Geologic Impact of Underground CO2 Injection

Presented by: Dr. Katherine Romanak, University of Texas

Everyone is welcome.

Dr. Romanak is an expert in near-surface geochemical monitoring, safety, and environmental impacts of geologic carbon storage. She is currently a Research Professor at the Bureau of Economic Geology, Jackson School of Geosciences, UT Austin.

She has developed and implemented monitoring plans for at least six actively-injecting, large-scale CO2 storage projects dating back to 2007, and pioneered a process-based soil gas approach which avoids costly and complex baseline data collection creating a paradigm shift in near-surface monitoring which has become the standard approach worldwide.

Katherine has also provided technical input into global regulations at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and in the USA (EPA Class VI and California Low Carbon Fuel Standard CCS protocol), which has led to an improvement in regulations that protect the environment. She is an advisor on many international project panels and effectively conveys science-based information on monitoring and environmental safety of geological CO2 storage to a wide audience of stakeholders.

As an academic, she works alongside industry to develop, innovate, and apply CO2 storage technology in real-world applications. Dr. Romanak holds a B.S. in Geology from Southern Methodist University, an M.S. in Geology from UT Arlington, and a Ph.D. in Geology from UT Austin. She previously worked as a staff scientist at the Smithsonian Institution.
