There are many distinguished members at CFSES, on this page some of their high level achievements will be displayed.

Dr. Gary Pope the CFSES director has been named the recipient of Oil-Chem Technologies LLP; 2010 Award  for outstanding contribution to chemical enhanced oil recovery.

Dr. Mary Wheeler a PI and an associate director of CFSES was interviewed by Cockrell School of Engineering to discuss the role of computation in engineering.  Read More

Dr. Mary Wheeler has been elected as a member to American Academy of Arts and Sciences for her outstanding contribution to her profession, nation and the world.  Read More

Alexander Urquhart (Bureau of Economic Geology, BEG) won the first place award for his poster at the CFSES meeting on October 15^th 2010

Matthew Kirk, a post-doctoral fellow working in Focus Area 1, recently had a manuscript entitled “Variation in energy available to populations of subsurface anaerobes in response to geological carbon storage” accepted for publication in Environmental Science & Technology. The manuscript considers how changes in water composition due to geological carbon storage could impact the balance between groups of subsurface microorganisms.  

Dr. David DiCarlo, a co-investigator in Focus Area 2, had recently an article on the New Scientist titled ”Nano-foam could plug underground CO₂ leaks”. An abstract of his research is available here.
