Two Postdoctoral Positions: 1) Environmental Effects of Shale-Gas
Extraction and 2) Groundwater Chemistry and Geosequestration of CO2
The Center on Global Change and Nicholas School of the Environment at
Duke University seek two earth system scientists in biogeochemistry,
hydrology, geology, or environmental engineering to 1) examine the
environmental effects of shale-gas production in the Marcellus Shale and
elsewhere, including measurements of groundwater and air quality, and 2)
prioritize the potential risks of CO2 leakage from underground storage
reservoirs to shallow drinking-water aquifers using field and laboratory
research and modeling. Funded by DOE and other sources, the projects
expand ongoing work in the Earth and Ocean Sciences Division of the
Nicholas School. For sample publications on the projects, see Osborn, SG
et al. 2011 PNAS 108:8172-8176,
http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1100682108; and Little and Jackson 2010
Environ Sc & Tech 44: 9225–9232, http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/es102235w.
