Fall 2005 SECUREarth Workshop
September 11-13
Colorado School of Mines
Golden, Colorado
The purpose of this workshop is to develop the SECUREarth science
plan in the form of a proposal for the science and funding communities,
and for consideration by a National Academy of Science committee.
The goals of the workshop include the following:
- Address the hypothesis that to accelerate the advancement of
earth science, interdisciplinary, problem-focused research related
to subsurface issues is needed to augment the current research
base
- Determine which common or recurring themes for addressing subsurface
problem areas should be addressed using a SECURE Earth (SE)-type
approach, and establish why this is the case
- Assuming progress on Goals 1 and 2, define the scientific appearance
(structure or format) of an SE-like program
The format of the workshop will include an initial presentation
to explain the motivation for SECUREarth and the workshop goals.
Subsequently, the attendees will be separated into six main groups—energy,
environmental, nuclear waste, CO2 storage, geothermal, and groundwater—with
the respective group leaders as follows:
- Energy: Phil Bording, Memorial University of Newfoundland
- Environmental: Tullis Onstott, Princeton University
- Nuclear Waste: Mark Peters, Argonne National Laboratory
- CO2 Storage: Sally Benson, Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory
- Geothermal: Sabodh Garg, SAIC
- Groundwater: Bruce Robinson, Los Alamos National Laboratory
