| REU Projects Rachel's project Alina's project | Volcanology, Hydrogeology, Fluid Mechanics | MartinSaar StuartWalsh | Description of summer 2008 REU projects |
| Magma Permeability | Volcanology | KarliAnderson MariaDavis MartinSaar StuartWalsh | The goal of this project is to determine magma permeability on the volcanic conduit scale. |
| InSAR-constrained Poroelastic Deformation | Hydrogeology, Poroelasticity | RaviAppana MartinSaar | InSAR? is used to constrain proroelastic deformation in Coachella Valley in southern Californian. The objective of this project is to constrain the hydrogeologic system including the permeability of the San Andreas fault. |
| Mid-Continental Rift System (MRS) | Hydrogeology, Energy | JimmyRandolph MartinSaar | Research related to the Mid-Continental Rift System in north-central US. --> Research areas include 1) CO2 sequestration, 2) Low/High-temperature (transient) geothermal heat, 3) groundwater system and resources, and 4) Minnesota Geology |
| Geothermal Systems | Hydrogeology, Volcanology, Energy | JimmyRandolph, MartinSaar | |
| CO2 Sequestration | Hydrogeology, Energy | JimmyRandolph, MartinSaar | Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide and associated climate change are being recognized as important issues for society. Sequestration of CO2 from point sources, such as coal-fired power plants, in deep geologic formations, primarily saline aquifers, is one means of reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The Mid Continental Rift System of Minnesota could prove a viable sink for such CO2 storage. |
| Rheology and Permeability of Vesicular Crystal-Melt Suspensions (e.g., Magmas) | Volcanology, Fluid/Granular/Foam Mechanics | MariaDavis MartinSaar StuartWalsh AlexMorrison | |
| Carbonate Systems | Hydrogeology | ScottAlexander StuartWalsh MartinSaar | Multi-scale simulation of permeability development in Karst and other carbonate systems. |
| Permeability Measurement, Calculation, and Modeling | Hydrogeology, Volcanology, Fluid Mechanics | KarliAnderson MartinSaar | |
| Hydrogen Diffusion through Olivine | Volcanology, Mineralogy, Geodynamics | Lilly Gorman MartinSaar | |
| General Purpose GPU Simulation | Hydrogeology, Volcanology, Fluid Mechanics, Geodynamics, Computer Science | StuartWalsh MartinSaar David Lilja | Employing Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) in geological scientific and engineering computations. |
| Multiphase LB | Fluid Mechanics | StuartWalsh, MartinSaar, AlexanderWagner | Multiphase Lattice-Boltzmann simulations. |
| Heat and Helium Transport | Hydrogeology, Volcanology | JudyA MartinSaar | Magma- or mantle-sourced heat and helium signals can be spatially and temporally coupled or decoupled. This projects aims at determining what causes (de)coupling of these signals and what we can learn about the subsurface from it. |
| Pumping Tests | Hydrogeology | ScottAlexander, MartinSaar | Improving pumping test analyses. |
| Judy's Thesis | Thesis | Outline of contents/plan of attack for Judy's Master's Thesis. | |
| Hybrid Boundary Condition | Physics | JudyA, MartinSaar | Development of a new, hybrid boundary condition. |
| Lattice Boltzmann Code Development | Fluid Mechanics, Computer Science | StuartWalsh, SrinivasanKrishnan, JoeMyre, MartinSaar | The goal of this project is to make a user-friendly, modular version of our exisiting lattice-Botlzmann codes that is readily accessible to all members of the geofluids group, regardless of programming experience. |
| Karst Storm Pulse Modeling | Fluid Mechanics, Hydrogeology, Heat Transport | MattCovington, StuartWalsh, MartinSaar, ScottAlexander | Explore the relationship between karst conduit network geometry and response to storm pulses through a combination of computer modeling and analysis of field data. Can a storm pulse be used to probe the system for information about its geometry? |
| Glacier Cave Speleogenesis | Fluid Mechanics, Glacial Hydrology, Heat Transport | MattCovington, MartinSaar | Analytical and numerical analysis of the formation and evolution of glacial conduit networks. |
| Karst Aquifer Inverse Modeling | fluid mechanics, heat and mass transport, inverse modeling | MattCovington, MartinSaar, JoeMyre, AndrewLuhmann | Develop inverse modeling tools for karst aquifers, specifically quantifying parameter and model uncertainty. |
