报告内容摘要：
Michael Celia, Ph.D. will explore Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)—a technique where carbon dioxide is captured and injected into deep geological formations.

Human induced emissions of carbon dioxide have increased atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide by about 35 percent during the past 200 years. The current concentration, at about 385 parts per million, represents the highest carbon dioxide concentration in the last 500,000 years. Projected future emissions will lead to doubling of preindustrial carbon dioxide concentration within the next 50 years. Celia will discuss some of the key effects, issues and questions surrounding the injection of carbon dioxide into deep formations.

The lecture series was established by the National Ground Water Research and Educational Foundation.

报告人简介：
Prof. Michael Celia received his Master and PhD degrees in Civil Engineering from Princeton University in 1979 and 1983, respectively. He is currently the chair of Princeton University’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Professor Celia’s areas of research include groundwater hydrology, ecohydrology, numerical modeling, contaminant transport simulation, and multiphase flow physics. Ongoing projects include pore-scale network modeling to study interface dynamics, reactive transport, and scaling in porous media systems; computational studies of plant responses to variations in soil moisture in water-stressed ecosystems, with a focus on applications in sub-Saharan Africa; and studies associated with large-scale injection of CO2 into deep brine formations as a possible mitigation strategy for the atmospheric carbon problem. The carbon work is part of a large multi-disciplinary effort at Princeton known as the Carbon Mitigation Initiative.

关于Darcy Distinguished Lecture in Ground Water Science：
To foster interest and excellence in ground water science and technology, the Henry Darcy Distinguished Lecture Series in Ground Water Science was established in 1986. The series honors Henry Darcy of France for his scientific discoveries of 1856. Darcy's investigations established the physical basis upon which ground water hydrogeology has been studied ever since.

Annually, a panel of scientists and engineers invites an outstanding ground water professional to share his or her work with their peers and students. Today, the National Ground Water Research and Educational Foundation sponsors the Henry Darcy Distinguished Lecture Series in Ground Water Science in response to invitations from universities throughout the world. The first presentation outside of North America was made in 1993.
