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
