معرفی
Johnathon Osmond is a Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oslo's Department of Geosciences, affiliated with the Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS). His research focuses on subsurface and outcrop characterization of faults, CO₂ storage site evaluation, and structural influences on hydrocarbon/CO₂ migration. He holds an M.S. in Geological Sciences (University of Texas at Austin, 2016) and a B.S. in Geology (University of Houston, 2013).
Key research areas include 3D structural modeling, seismic stratigraphy, and carbonate diagenesis. His work integrates geophysics with field observations to address challenges in CO₂ storage and petroleum reservoir integrity. Notable projects include structural analysis of the Aurora and Smeaheia CO₂ storage sites in the North Sea.
- Awards: Norwegian CCS Mobility Grant (2019), Jackson School Field Scholarship (2015)
- Publications: 10+ peer-reviewed articles in journals like Petroleum Geoscience and Marine and Petroleum Geology
- Affiliations: Bureau of Economic Geology (2016-2017), Gulf Coast Carbon Center (2013-2015)
His current research emphasizes structural de-risking of CO₂ storage sites and understanding tectonic controls on sedimentary basins. He contributes to interdisciplinary teams at the University of Oslo and NCCS.
