Subproject 3 studies the human response to climate change through the sequestration of CO2 into mature oil fields and saline aquifers and the predictive mapping of treatable groundwater from the same saline aquifers.
Our research is aimed at better understanding the role of drought, evaluating potential responses, and assisting with adaptive planning in response to these changes.
Such research will improve the recruitment, retention, and success of students, especially those from the local community whose backgrounds may be underrepresented in STEM fields.
Such research promotes advanced graduate study for students.
Faculty:
Students:
Take personal initiative to move your project or thesis forward and to discuss with your advisor any problems that may arise
Submit your own original work, and as appropriate to the conduct of research, properly cite the works of others
Be aware of and accountable to established deadlines
Be responsive to feedback provided in a timely manner if you expect the same from your advisor
Presentations develop your aptitude and ability to present your work to others. This is the purpose of your CREST presentation.
Don’t have a result, stuck, early stages on the project, etc.? — No worries! The purpose is to improve your aptitude and ability to present your work to others
Close to finishing, have a conference coming up, etc.? — Great! Use the CREST meetings to present updates on your progress of your thesis or research project, to practice for a conference presentation, or prepare for a thesis defense.
Your presentation should include the most important points up to date. This will vary depending on how long you’ve been working on your research.
You will be presenting to an audience that is not familiar enough with your research area. This is true for diverse meetings, such as the AGU fall meeting and others. Unless your practicing for your defense, keep in mind a diverse audience.
