RESEARCH/LAB EXPERIENCE________________________________________
January 2019 to June 2019: University of California-Santa Barbara
Department of the Earth Sciences
Research Assistant: Explored the La Conchita flare as a carbon offset to aid the University of California Carbon Neutrality Initiative (CNI), which aims for all UC campuses to be carbon neutral by 2025. Investigated how the flare could provide an offset for UCSB and researched alternatives, such as micro-turbines, to burning off natural gas. Concluded that the costs outweighed the benefits, and it was more efficient to burn gas than to install a new alternative. The carbon emissions from the burned natural gas was not sufficient enough to consider as a significant offset for our campus.
