Complex Geology Contributed to Deepwater Horizon Disaster, New Study Finds
A study from The University of Texas at Austin is the first published in a scientific journal to take an in-depth look at the challenging geologic conditions faced by the crew of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and the role those conditions played in the 2010 disaster. The well blowout killed 11 people and spewed […]
Excellence in Antarctic Research Earns UTIG Postdoc Fulbright Award
Jamin Greenbaum, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG), has received a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award to study how quickly coastal ice is melting in East Antarctica. A veteran of twelve Antarctic expeditions, Greenbaum will spend the 2019-2020 academic year in Shanghai, where he hopes to grow two-way Antarctic research […]
New Equinor Fellow Marks Next Step for UT Research into Unconventional Hydrocarbons
The University of Texas at Austin (UT) is a leader in unconventional energy resources research, particularly shale reservoirs. That’s according to one of this year’s Equinor Fellows, Sebastian Ramiro-Ramirez, a graduate research assistant at UTIG and a PhD student at the University of Texas Jackson School of Geosciences, who was awarded over $60,000 to study […]
