Post Energy Geosciences Division Q and A

A Q&A With Ingenuity Intern Toshiyuki Bandai

August 4, 2022

EESA’s new Ingenuity Internship program helps the next generation entering the geologic nuclear waste disposal workforce gain experience with research projects ranging from simulating contaminant migration in rocks to conducting clay experiments to study water movement in the subsurface. After 2022 Ingenuity Intern Toshiyuki Bandai studied soil physics in his Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at…

Bhavna Arora Describes Agricultural Managed Aquifer Recharge

June 7, 2022

Bhavna Arora portrait

Managed Aquifer Recharge is a water management strategy used to store excess surface water underground and thereby replenish groundwater basins when and where possible. This strategy enables communities to use depleted groundwater basins as natural water storage to augment water supplies and prevent land subsidence. In coastal regions, MAR can be implemented to act as…

Remote Autonomous Monitoring Developed at the GMF Makes the Difference in Carbon Storage Investigations

February 24, 2022

Back in November 2020 when field research worldwide had more or less grounded to a halt due to COVID related travel restrictions, one team of EESA geoscientists was able to carry through with a key field investigation–and a complicated one at that. Conducted in underground rock laboratories, their work involves activating a geological fault to…

Quantifying California’s Lithium Valley: Can It Power Our EV Revolution?

February 22, 2022

This article appeared first at newscenter.lbl.gov The Salton Sea geothermal field in California potentially holds enough lithium to meet all of America’s domestic battery needs, with even enough left over to export some of it. But how much of that lithium can be extracted in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way? And how long will the…

National Labs Support Safe Nuclear Waste Disposal by Studying Safety Material for Underground Sites

January 19, 2022

When it comes to nuclear power, the uranium at the heart of fuel rods is also this power source’s Achilles’ heel.  When power plants shut down or the fuel rods in nuclear reactors become inefficient, the high-level nuclear waste resulting from the spent fuel created from running these plants could stay radioactive for thousands of years.…

Sizing Up the Challenges in Extracting Lithium from Geothermal Brine

December 5, 2021

This news release appeared first at newscenter.lbl.gov If you had a jar of marbles of many different colors but wanted only the green ones, how could you efficiently pick them out? What if it wasn’t marbles but a jar of glitter, and there was sand, glue, and mud mixed in? That begins to describe the…
