Summary Description:

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University located in Palisades, New York, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position focusing on optimizing fluid transport and geochemical controls on mineral carbonation in natural basalt reservoirs. Based on recent successes in on-land pilot projects, offshore basalts may offer large-scale repositories to safely store CO2 and combat climate change. Research is needed to optimize mineralization, accurately assess CO2 storage capacities, and develop effective long-term monitoring methods.
This postdoctoral researcher will work collaboratively with other researchers at Lamont Doherty and with research partners at the U.S. National Laboratories and other Universities in ongoing projects to advance technologies for CO2 injection and monitoring, such as:
