Talk given Thursday, February 4, 2010 by Dr. Richard J. Chalaturnyk, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Alberta.

CO2 emissions from human activities have long been identified as the leading cause of global climate change. Point source capture and geological storage of CO2 has been identified as one of the many options to mitigate climate change and one of Canada’s and Alberta’s primary options. Dr. Chalaturnyk has been actively involved in the storage component of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) locally and globally as a primary researcher and major project reviewer and policy developer. He will address several key issues regarding risk, performance and uncertainty around the geological storage of CO2, and Alberta’s CCS role on the global stage.
