Field Trip
There will be an optional field trip to Crystal Geyser on Thursday February 18th, subject to cancellation in the event of adverse weather conditions. Crystal Geezer provides an excellent analogue for CO2 geological storage and potential leakage mechanisms. The coach will leave campus at 7am and return participants to campus for early evening; lunch will be provided during the day and there may be time for brief stops at scenic viewpoints. Participants will need to bring suitable sturdy footwear (e.g. hiking boots) and warm outdoor clothing. A fee of will be payable the cost to be determinedand participants are asked to register their interest in advance – numbers may be limited and places will be allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.
