Microbiology of basalts targeted for deep geological carbon sequestration : field observations and laboratory experiments

Creator:

Lavalleur, Heather J.

Abstract:

With rising concentrations of CO₂ in the Earth's atmosphere causing concern about climate change, many solutions are being presented to decrease emissions. One of the proposed solutions is to sequester excess CO₂ in geological formations such as basalt. The deep subsurface is known to harbor much of the microbial biomass...

ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Heather J. Lavalleur for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology
Geomicrobiology of marine sediment containing methane

Creator:

Briggs, Brandon R.

Abstract:

Marine sediments contain an abundance of methane that is biologically produced and plays a significant role in the global carbon cycle. Microbes responsible for the carbon cycle in marine sediments, and the processes that they carry out, need to be characterized in order to fully understand the role of this...
