Geological conditions can change rapidly over short distances, bringing new behaviours and risks. When those conditions are not fully understood, the consequences are unpredictable, from cost overruns ...

The School of Energy Resources is engaged in many innovative energy solutions for the state of Wyoming. While the projects themselves are large-scale with the potential to be ground-breaking for the ...

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery beneath Antarctica, revealing a hidden network of over 332 colossal underwater canyons. These ancient structures, located 4,000 meters below the ice, ...

New research reveals that, rather than being influenced only by environmental conditions, deep subsurface microbial communities can transform because of geological movements. The findings advance our ...

In petroleum exploration, migration is one of the most compute-intensive steps in the seismic data processing sequence. It accurately images the reflected and diffracted energy and aids in delineating ...

Scientists have mapped the near-surface geology around Old Faithful, revealing the reservoir of heated water that feeds the geyser's surface vent and how the ground shaking behaves in between ...

Students at the University of Wyoming recently completed a one-credit field course in Moab, Utah, to study rock formations that are direct analogs to those being explored for carbon management in ...
