Most of my research time is spent trying to enable Carbon Capture and Storage, to dispose of CO2 deep below ground. A lot more information is available at the group I am mostly intimately involved with SCCS (Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage) , this is the largest and most diverse in the UK. There are other UK links at UKCCSC, and at the UKCCSRC

Carbon dioxide capture, transport and geological storage (CCS), Look here for most information SCCS (Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage)

Oil and gas geology of fossil fuels, petroleum geology. Oil and gas reserves and resources
Porosity and permeability of sub-surface fluid reservoirs, Diagenesis , Sandstone Cementation

The School of GeoSciences is placed 6th in world for Environment and Ecology in Times Higher Education, using data provided by Thomson Scientific from its Essential Science Indicators from 1997 to 2007, with US institutions taking the top five places.

Edinburgh is Scotland's first Fair Trade University

Edinburgh University has goals to 1) Cut CO2 emissions by 40% by 2010 - 1990 base year, 2) Improve energy efficiency by 20% by 2010 - 1990 base year, 3) Reduce water consumption by 20% by 2010 - 2000 base year

Carbon Dioxide was first isolated in a perfectly pure state at Edinburgh University by Joseph Black. An original glass phial of carbon dioxide – one of only three remaining produced by Joseph Black, is in the University Principal's collection in Old College. In 1756 Black presented the first quantitative analysis of carbon dioxide "Fixed air" in his paper to the Philosophical Society of Edinburgh.

The Joseph Black discovery of CO2 is commemorated on the University of Edinburgh Chemistry Department
