New paper in Advances in Geo-Energy Research by recent MIT ERL/CEE alum Dr. Lluís Saló-Salgado (now a postdoc at Harvard), ERL/CEE Prof. Ruben Juanes, and collaborators from Norwegian research company SINTEF: “Three-dimensional simulation of geologic carbon dioxide sequestration using MRST“. “Physics-based computational modeling of subsurface CO2 migration constitutes the primary tool to assess geologic carbon…

On June 21, 2024, Brindha successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled “Shifting Paradigms: Data-Centric Approach for Marine Statics Correction Using Symmetric Autoencoding”. Her advisor was Prof. Laurent Demanet of ERL, Dept. of Mathematics, and Dept. of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences.

Former ERL Associate Director Dr. Michael Fehler is one of three people chosen to receive a Presidential Award this year from the Society of Exploration Geophysicists. SEG President Arthur Cheng chose to honor Dr. Fehler for his work on SEAM, the research arm of SEG which organizes collaborations among industry, government, and academia to address…

ERL is excited to welcome Dr. Ben Holtzman as Senior Research Scientist in ERL and the Department of Earth, Atmospheric an Planetary Sciences at MIT. Dr. Holtzman studies the mechanical behavior of rocks, with a broad range of applications, including how magmas move through the planet’s interior to feed volcanoes, how seismic waves move through…
