Dr. John Kaszuba

Dr. Kaszuba is an SER Associate Professor of Geology and Geophysics in the Department of Geology and Geophysics. He received his Ph.D. from Colorado School  of Mines. He is a recognized expert in high pressure/high temperature hydrothermal and multiphase fluid-rock reactions. Dr. Kaszuba's research has produced seminal experimental papers regarding supercritical carbon dioxide reaction processes in brine aquifers, with implications for geologic sequestration of carbon. His current research focuses on integrated laboratory and computational approaches for multiphase fluid-rock interaction and evolution in crustal systems; contact metamorphism; quartz and carbonate veins and textures; redox equilibria in crustal-scale (deep) aquifers; and mass and energy transfer in the crust.
