Groundwater Chemistry and Geosequestration: The Center on Global Change
and Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University seek an earth
system scientist in biogeochemistry, hydrology, or environmental
engineering to prioritize the risks of leakage from deep storage
reservoirs to shallow drinking-water aquifers above them.
The three-year DOE project expands ongoing work in the Earth and Ocean
Sciences Division of the Nicholas School to: 1) identify fresh
groundwater resources that are geographically coincident over deep
saline aquifer carbon capture and storage sites; 2) collect additional
sediment and groundwater samples from these aquifers; 3) incubate
sediment samples for 1 month to 2 years in the laboratory to analyze CO2
interactions with aquifer water and rock; 4) sample and analyze the
chemistry of sediments and simulated groundwater; and 5) analyze and
model long-term changes in aquifer chemistry to extrapolate our findings
to basin and national scales. The successful applicant will have
experience with environmental chemistry, hydrology, and/or chemical
modeling.
Send a CV, statement of interests, and 3 letters of recommendation to:
jack...@duke.edu or Rob Jackson, Director - Center on Global Change,
Nicholas School, Box 90658, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708-0658 or by
email to Klugh Jordan (klugh.jor...@duke.edu). Duke is an equal
opportunity employer; minority applicants are strongly encouraged to
apply. Applications will be reviewed as they are received; please apply
by January 20, 2010 for full consideration.
