Example of a rip current experiment.
Example of a rip current experiment. Colors show bathymetry and arrows show velocity vectors after 1 h of model simulation. Similar to results in Kumar and others, 2012.

Bedrock outcrop in New Hampshire
Photograph showing a bedrock outcrop near the intersection of Post Road and Daniel Webster Highway (New Hampshire State Route 3) in Hooksett, New Hampshire. During the summer, groundwater stains the exposed bedrock with precipitated iron oxides.

Worldwide distribution of observed and inferred gas hydrates
Worldwide distribution of observed and inferred gas hydratesWorldwide distribution of observed and inferred gas hydrates in marine and permafrost-associated settings that have been the subject of drilling programs. The color coding refers to the primary sediment type in each location and therefore designates the likely type of gas hydrate reservoir at each site.

The Concept of Geologic Carbon Sequestration
The use of carbon dioxide (CO2) injection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) can prolong the productivity of many oil reservoirs and increase the U.S. hydrocarbon recoverable resource volume.
