Investigating fumaroles on the outcrop of a burning coal bed in western Colorado.
The Division of Environmental Geology (DEG) offers AAPG members an opportunity to increase their knowledge about the environment and the petroleum industry. DEG approaches basic environmental issues from a geological standpoint, so the profession's understanding of geological, geochemical, geophysical and hydrogeological principles and methodologies can be applied to environmental problems.
DEG relies on the active participation of its members to accomplish its goals and objectives. There are a number of committees that members can join.
September 2008 issue now available
Electronic version ISSN: 1075-9565. DEG members and nonmembers may download a form to subscribe to the journal either in print or electronically.

Integrated Design, Modeling, and Monitoring of Geologic Sequestration of Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide to Safeguard Sources of Drinking Water
- URL: http://es.epa.gov/ncer/rfa/2008/2008_star_gsc02.html
- Open Date: 10/03/2008 - Close Date: 01/06/2009
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science To Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications to conduct research to support the development of sound risk management strategies for the underground injection of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) in candidate subsurface geologic formations. To further the scientific understanding of this practice, research is needed to investigate how integrating approaches in design, siting, modeling and monitoring of CO2 in the subsurface can provide safe and effective storage, mitigate potential risks, and prevent endangerment of existing and potential sources of drinking water.
Call for Papers:
