UPDATE 5-26-11:  Lab Video Places Second in DOE Contest>

UPDATE:  You have fans.  Today C&E News posted a blog about the EFRC video contest.  Congratulations on a job well done!

DOE's Office of Science announced the winners of their Life at the Frontiers of Energy video contest, and the Center for Nanoscale Control of Geologic CO2 won, for its entry "Carbon in Underland," specifically for its "entertaining animation and engaging explanations of carbon sequestration." In making the announcement, Robin Hayes of the Office of Science noted the "creative, inspiring, and educational" nature of the submissions, and that they "had received rave reviews from the Office of Science leadership."

You can see all the videos and vote for your favorite (we highly recommend "Carbon in Underland"!). The Energy Frontier Research Center's video with the most votes by 5pm EST on May 24, 2011 will win the People's Choice Award, to be presented at the EFRC Summit on May 25, 2011 in Washington, DC. Hurry, and vote now!

In addition to voting, please make sure and congratulate those who contributed to the production of this video. The project was a great deal of fun and we are thrilled that the efforts have been acknowledged and rewarded!

  • Sergi Molins-Rafa (ESD postdoc) – for leading the concept development and providing the scientific direction
  • Ivan Berry (CSO Videographer) – for his artistic influence, detailed editing and outstanding production
  • Jenny Cappuccio (ESD project scientist) – for her valued contributions with the concept development
  • Jeff Miller (Public Affairs Department Head) – for developing the very witty script
  • Ian Bourg (ESD scientist) – for the initial concept development
  • *Paul Cummins (Public Affairs) – for the very creative design and animation
  • Lisa Kelly (ESD Senior Administrator) – for organizing and leading the effort

Pramod Bhuvankar, an EGD postdoctoral fellow working with research scientist Abdullah Cihan, received a Young Researcher Presenter Award during the 2020 Computational Methods in Water Resources conference in December. His presentation, “Pore-scale simulations of permeability decline in porous media due to fines migration,” described a pore-scale CFD study of clay mobilization in porous media due…

Berkeley Lab Partners with International Collaborators in Geothermal Energy Research1 min read

January 20, 2021

  Scientists from the Energy Geosciences Division have begun working with European partners on three new geothermal research projects through the Department of Energy’s membership in GEOTHERMICA, a transnational consortium that combines the in-country financial resources and research expertise of 15 participating countries to demonstrate and validate novel concepts in geothermal energy use. This marks the…

EESA Senior Scientist Talks Earthquake Building Resilience1 min read

Berkeley Lab senior scientist David McCallen leads a subproject called Earthquake Sim, or EQSIM, for the DOE’s Energy Exascale Computing Project. He is also professor and director of the Center for Civil Engineering Earthquake Research in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. McCallen recently spoke with Scott Gibson of…

EESA Scientist Coauthors New Comprehensive Guide on Removing CO2 from the Atmosphere2 min read

January 18, 2021

Berkeley Lab researchers are working on ways to sequester more carbon in soil, including through agricultural practices. (Credit: Berkeley Lab) Scientists say that any serious plan to address climate change should include carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies and policies, which makes the newly launched CDR Primer an especially vital resource, says Berkeley Lab scientist Margaret Torn, one…
