Sarah Saltzer - Managing Director of the Stanford Center for Carbon Storage (SCCS), the Smart Fields Consortium (SFC) and the Stanford University Energy Transition Research Institute B (SUETRI-B) Reservoir Simulation program. She was also recently named to the Biden-Harris Administration’s Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization and Sequestration (CCUS) Non-Federal Lands Task Force.

Sarah spent 25 years in the oil and gas industry where she held a series of scientific, managerial, and executive roles. She has a diversity of experience in positions of increasing responsibility, including geology research and teaching, petroleum engineering, leading exploration teams, competitor analysis and business planning and strategy. Dr. Saltzer holds a M.S. and B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. from Stanford University.

The Stanford Center for Carbon Storage (SCCS) uses a multidisciplinary approach to address critical questions related to flow physics, monitoring, geochemistry, and simulation of the transport and fate of CO2 stored in geologic media. The Smart Fields Consortium is a multidisciplinary program that performs state-of-the-art research in computational optimization, history matching (data assimilation), uncertainty quantification, and data interpretation for storage of CO2. SUETRI-B reservoir simulation program is dedicated to research and development of advanced numerical techniques that enhance the value of reservoir simulation technology for geologic storage of CO2.
