Description:
The research in this RFA may involve the collection of geospatial information.
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.
