SCLLC is contracted by Woodward & Curran to review transport and fate for mine sourced uranium relative to natural background values at the Jackpile-Paguate Uranium Mine Superfund Site (JPUMSS).  Investigation applies comparison uranium concentration, speciation, isotope ratios.  This isotope analysis will determine a source contribution to complex mixtures of the same element in different geologic formations and is a function changes in the geologic source and… Read more »

Drs. Coffin and Abdulla will be working on the CO2SMICC project contracted through Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) and this project is organized with Repsol for offshore CO2 storage. Oversight for this project is conducted by Southern States Energy Board.  TAMU-CC and SCLLC is responsible for monitoring and environmental health impact and prediction of long term CO2 storage.  This project is supported by DOE – NETL….

Drs. Abdulla and Coffin are working with Total Machining Solutions on applying harmonic frequency cascade (HFC) to oil refining and desulfurization. HFC provides capability to refine oil to different petroleum stocks and remove sulfur in oil. This novel work provides technical, environmental, and financial benefits such as: • Environmental reductions in carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur gas emissions, • Portable fuel refining capability available to remote locations… Read more »

Dr. Coffin is the Principal Investigator of an National Science Foundation Sponsored Project to conduct 16 weeks at sea over two years working down in the Ross Sea off the coast of Antarctica on deep ocean warming and the volumes of methane and oil in this region. Expectations from this research include: 1) Ross Sea high resolution seismic data; 2) an expanded Antarctica coastal seismic data… Read more »
