Carbon in Underland
Follow "CO2" in an adventure tour of its new home Underland to learn how the researchers at the Center for Nanoscale Control of Geologic CO2, an Energy Frontier Research Center, led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, are using new investigative tools, combined with experiments and computational methods, to build a next generation understanding of molecular - to - pore scale processes in fluid-rock systems, and to demonstrate the ability to control critical aspects of flow and transport in porous rock media, in particular as applied to geologic sequestration of CO2.
As part of the DOE's Energy Frontier Research Centers Summit to be held in May, 2011, members were invited to create "short, engaging films that educate, inspire, and entertain audiences about the science, innovation and people in their centers." Twenty-six teams took up the challenge, including Berkeley Lab's Center for Nanoscale Control of Geologic CO2. Their "Carbon in Underland," a witty animation that explains carbon sequestration, was among the top five picks.

ςCarbon sequestration must be big and quick
This what-to-do-about-it lecture by Prof. William H. Calvin focuses on the abrupt climate changes since 1976, how to head off more, and how to use the oceans to sequester enough carbon to reverse most climate changes. Several slides are for the experts (the presentation is to the University of Washington's chemical oceanography group), but the rest is suitable for a general scientific audience. Others familiar with the climate story will be able to follow it as well.
