Sierra Club Program ONLINE: Carbon Capture
January 9 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Our monthly Austin Sierra Club meeting will be online via Zoom.
We’ll start off with Announcements on current events… Tonite’s main program is CARBON CAPTURE – Monitoring, Safety, and Geologic Impact of Underground CO2 Injection, with Dr. Katherine Romanak.
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 has pioneered a new environmental monitoring technique which has become the standard approach worldwide.
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.
