Gabrielle Jarvik Stockmann (co directed with Sigurdur R. Gislason and Domenick Wolff-Boenisch, University of Iceland) Research theme: Carbonation of basalts.
Teresa Roncal Herrero
Research interests: Hydrogeochemistry. Study and experimental measurement of thermodynamics parameters. Research and interpretation of mineral dissolution-precipitation rates in natural water. Understanding mineral-fluid interactions.
Giuseppe Saldi
Research interests: Geochemistry of rock-water systems. Thermodynamics of aqueous solutions; mineral-fluid surface chemistry. Chemical and mass transport modeling of natural waters. Geochemical aspects of CO2 geologic sequestration.
Therese Flaathen (co directed with Sigurdur R. Gislason, University of Iceland)
Research interests: Sulfate enhancement of the dissolution rates of basaltic glass and feldspar: Possibly optimizing CO2 fixation in basalt.
Iwona Monika Galeczka (co directed with Sigurdur R. Gislason and Domenick Wolff-Boenisch, University of Iceland)
Iowna compoleted her thesis in September 2013 on sxperimental studies on the sequestration of CO2 in basaltic rocks. Change in chemistry and mineralogy of solutions under pCO2 pressure percolating through a vertical column (plug) filled with basalt particles.
