Douglas Allen

Douglas Allen is a Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at Salem State University. His research spans geochemical processes in extreme environments, environmental toxic metal analysis, and greenhouse gas mitigation strategies.

• Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics (University of Minnesota, 2003)
• B.Sc. in Geology-Chemistry (Bridgewater State College, 1994)

Research Highlights:

• Geochemical rock-water interactions using x-ray fluorescence
• Sea level monitoring station in Salem, MA (NPS collaboration)
• Carbon sequestration in geologic formations for DOE-NETL
• Industrial waste recycling strategies

Publication Trends show expertise in carbon sequestration (2005-2008), hydrothermal systems, and environmental geochemistry. His work addresses climate solutions through CO2 storage mechanisms and toxic metal inventory analysis.
