Research in this area is in its early phases, with significant challenges in geoscience, engineering and policy.This manuscript is intended as an introduction to the OTC.08 panel discussion scheduled for Tuesday 6th May 2:30pm-4:00pm. The OTC.08 program also includes a complimentary technical session entitled " CO2 Challenge: Monitoring, Minimization, Removal Technology and Detection?? which is scheduled for Tuesday 6th May 9:00am - noon.The members of the OTC.08 panel session represent a selection of the premier research efforts in this area from the United States, Australia and Europe:Dr. Sally Benson, Stanford GCEPDr. Kevin Dodds, CSIRO, CO2CRCDr. Heleen Groenenberg, ECN Policy Studies, CO2ReMoVeDr. Daniel Schrag, Harvard University Center for the EnvironmentM. Nafi Toksöz, MITThe discussion will focus on CO2 sequestration activities which will impact the offshore environment; including geotechnical research, storage options, monitoring, verification, utilization for enhanced recovery and regulatory framework.Following are the detailed biographies and introductory comments from our distinguished panel.Sally M. BensonSally M. Benson was appointed GCEP Executive Director in March 2007. An internationally-recognized scientist with extensive management experience, Benson is responsible for guiding the development of GCEP's diverse research portfolio. A Professor (Research) in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering in the School of Earth Sciences, Benson has been a member of Stanford's faculty since 2007.Prior to joining GCEP, Benson was a staff scientist in the Earth Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). In 2004, she completed a four-year term as Deputy Director of Operations at the lab. Benson also served as Division Director for Earth Sciences and Associate Laboratory Director for Energy Sciences at LBNL.A ground water hydrologist and reservoir engineer, Benson has conducted research to address a range of issues related to energy and the environment. Her research interests include geologic storage of CO2 in deep underground formations, technologies and energy systems for a low-carbon future, influence of climate change on critical habitats, biogeochemistry of selenium, and geotechnical instrumentation for subsurface characterization and monitoring. She is an internationally recognized expert on geological storage of carbon dioxide storage in geological formations and was a coordinating lead author for the IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage.
