DC5-PhD: Reducing the uncertainty on subsurface heterogeneity from microseismic and geodetic data

CSIC

Tian Guo is a PhD candidate from China. She completed her bachelor’s degree in Geophysics at China University of Geosciences (Beijing), during her study there, the field trips inspired her passion for exploring the nature science. She then entered Norwegian University of Science and Technology and has achieved her Master’s degree in Petroleum Geophysics recently. As her understanding of the petroleum industry deepened and its non-negligible impact on the environment, she developed a strong interest in environmental protection-related technologies, after understanding the importance of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), she chose her master thesis in the topic of the large-scale CO2 injection analysis in CCS, specifically in the pressure variation in multiple fault compartments using analytical and computational analysis approaches.

Her research in CSIC will focus on developing a THMC characterization methodology to reduce the uncertainty on subsurface heterogeneity and identify faults that might induce seismicity based on induced microseismicity and ground deformation measurements during the geo-energy projects.
