Conferences and Meetings
Department of Mathematics and Statistics
Texas Tech University
If you are an incoming/undecided student interested in mathematical biology, please attend our biomath orientation. We will give brief research overviews to help you learn about options for thesis work and outline guidelines for starting work with potential advisors. Presentations will finish by 1:30PM, with the remaining time available for informal discussion between graduate students. Current biomath grads are also encouraged to attend!
Department Meeting Agenda
The U.S. Department of Energy funded the Southeast Offshore Storage Resource Assessment (SOSRA), the Southeast Regional Carbon Storage Partnership: Offshore Gulf of America (SECARB Offshore), and the Southeast Regional CO2 Utilization and Storage Acceleration Partnership (SECARB-USA) research projects with the goal of developing offshore and onshore prospective geologic storage resources for CO2 storage. With funding from these three projects, this talk will highlight the development of (1) onshore potential storage reservoirs in the Anadarko Basin (USA) and (2) offshore prospective storage resources on the South Atlantic continental margin and the Gulf of America continental slope. This work includes a replicable workflow of model-based seismic inversion that provides the tools to discriminate against lithology and predict porosity and permeability necessary for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) assessment in geologic reservoirs. These analyses have included integration of seismic surveys with core samples and geophysical well logs leading to a detailed stratigraphic, structural, petrophysical, and injection simulation model showing the heterogeneity and highly complex tectonic evolution of target reservoirs both onshore and offshore. The learning outcomes highlight the capabilities and experience of industry, academia, and government to develop and validate key technologies and best practices to ensure safe, long-term, and economically-viable CO2 storage in onshore/ offshore environments.
This talk will take place in the Academic Sciences Building, Rooms 106-108, south of Science and west of Chemistry. Talk flyer
