This month’s column is a summary of outcomes of events that AAPG members have participated in that relate to the efforts of the GEO-DC office. Most of the activities have an element of “global” or “international” import as well as a U.S. domestic slant.

What are the reasons for the climate changes in the past century? AAPG members debated the probable causes and many were not in agreement with our existing climate change position paper. Therefore, committees were formed to answer the question and write a change statement.

Read an interview of U.S. Geological Survey Director Mark Myers. He's an AAPG member, was nominated by President Bush and confirmed by the Senate in 2006, and heads up an entity that has more than 10,000 scientists, technicians and support staff. It covers a range of issues, from research to funding to the tricky areas of politics and science.

Workshop
Abu Dhabi, UAE
Monday, 27 May Wednesday, 29 May 2024, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

In order to support the energy transition, optimizing exploration and production from complex stratigraphic-diagenetic conventional and unconventional plays remains highly important. At the same time, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) poses new technological challenges that will impact both the industry and academia for decades to come. This 2nd edition will present reviews and discuss technology developments in geological process-based forward modeling achieved during the last 2 years. New perspectives for future technology developments and implementation in industry workflows will be discussed and with the additional focus on CO₂ storage and other sustainability-related applications, the scope of the workshop will be considerably extended.

DL Abstract

Local sea-level changes are not simply a function of global ocean volumes but also the interactions between the solid Earth, the Earth’s gravitational field and the loading and unloading of ice sheets. Contrasting behaviors between Antarctica and Scotland highlight how important the geologic structure beneath the former ice sheets is in determining the interactions between ice sheets and relative sea levels.

DL Abstract

President Biden has laid out a bold and ambitious goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions in the United States by 2050.  The pathway to that target includes cutting total greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 and eliminating them entirely from the nation’s electricity sector by 2035. The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management will play an important role in the transition to net-zero carbon emissions by reducing the environmental impacts of fossil energy production and use – and helping decarbonize other hard-to abate sectors.
