Introduction

Welcome to my homepage! I'm a NERC Postdoctoral Research Fellow working primarily with Prof. Stuart Haszeldine and Dr. Fin Stuart. My research is focused on determining if CO₂ can be safely stored in the subsurface over significant timescales. This is the most critical issue confronting the acceptance of geological storage of man-made CO₂ in the Earth's crust.

I'm particularly interested in geochemically investigating how CO₂ migrates in the crust, especially through faults and cap rocks and the residence time of CO₂ in natural reservoirs. The work forms a constituent part of the wider NERC and UKERC programmes focused on developing low carbon energy technologies within the UK and I am part of the Scottish Centre for Carbon Storage at Edinburgh.
