Next generation advances in subsurface technologies will enable access to large amounts of clean, renewable geothermal energy, as well as safer development of domestic natural gas supplies. The subsurface also provides hundreds of years of safe storage capacity for carbon dioxide (CO2) and opportunities for environmentally responsible management and disposal of hazardous materials and other energy ...

Significant improvements in the technology to monitor greenhouse gases are required. In particular there is need to be able to simultaneously monitor both small (~m) and large area sites (~ 100km) and in rugged/inaccessible terrain. For example, sensitive, accurate, and real-time monitoring of hydrobiogeochemical processes are needed in subsurface environments, including soils, the rhizosphere, se ...

Over the past decade, advances in shale characterization and stimulation technology have opened Hydrocarbon bearing shale to exploitation. The success of all of these plays can depend on the proper characterization of the shale reservoir. To determine if favorable composition and structure are present, it is currently necessary to conduct a number of different analyses that are time consuming and ...
