Speaker:
MIT ERL Principal Investigators, Postdoctoral Researchers, and Graduate Students
Each spring MIT Earth Resources Laboratory invites our supporters and alumni to the MIT campus for talks by our researchers. This year's meeting will take place 5/28-5/29 and the theme will be Perspectives on New Subsurface Technologies: CO2, Geothermal, and H2 and will feature a plenary talk by Oliver Jagoutz, Associate Professor of Geology in MIT EAPS. If you are an employee of one of our Founding Member companies or an MIT alum and you'd like to attend, please contact erl-info@mit.edu.
