'I quickly got caught up in geology — it appeals to the side of me that loves mystery stories,' he said. 'Geology is basically solving mysteries, except there is even less evidence than most detectives get. Petrography in particular is all about looking at little clues to put together to figure out whodunit.'

As part of the international effort to combat global warming, significant attention is being given to ways to sequester (store for the long-term) carbon dioxide, which is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect. This one-day course will look at some of the ways in which carbon dioxide can be stored and provide a detailed review of the SRMS framework prepared by the Society of Petroleum Engineers to classify and categorize the storage volumes.
