Emerging Research Opportunities And Challenges In The Characterization And Simulation Of Geological CO2 Storage
July 10-11, 2010
Bates College
Lewiston, ME

Application Deadline
Applications for this meeting must be submitted by June 19, 2010. Please apply early, as some meetings become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. If the meeting is oversubscribed, it will be stated here. Applications will still be accepted for oversubscribed meetings. However, they will only be considered by the Conference Chair if more seats become available due to cancellations.
Related Meeting Information
The Flow & Transport In Permeable Media Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar will be held in conjunction with the Flow & Transport In Permeable Media Gordon Research Conference. Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GKRS. Please refer to the Flow & Transport In Permeable Media GRC web page for more information.

Meeting Overview

The Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar on Flow & Transport In Permeable Media is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is the scientific basis of geological CO2 storage, including characterization of the storage site, physical and chemical processes during CO2 migration, multiscale and multiphysics numerical simulation of CO2 evolution, and geophysical and geochemical monitoring of storage performance.

Application Instructions

The meeting will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.

The Chairs will select speakers from abstracts submitted by March 10, 2010. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by June 19, 2010.
