Timothy A. Meckel

Dr. Timothy A. Meckel is a Research Professor at the The University of Texas at Austin, affiliated with the Bureau of Economic Geology. His work focuses on geologic carbon sequestration, particularly in CO2 storage, structural geology, and seismic monitoring for offshore Gulf of Mexico projects.

• Ph.D., 2003, The University of Texas at Austin
• M.S., 1998, University of Montana
• B.A., 1995, Colby College

Meckel's research explores CO2 flow dynamics in heterogeneous geologic systems, pressure evolution during injection, and offshore storage capacity assessment. His publications span topics like multiphase flow experiments, seismic-based reservoir evaluation, and dynamic CO2 capacity estimation for large-scale deployments.

Current work includes leading offshore Gulf of Mexico sequestration initiatives and developing permit-ready CO2 storage locations through phased workflows. He collaborates on DOE-NETL funded projects such as SECARB Phase III and Cranfield Mississippi field demonstrations.
