My name is Malin Haugen, I am a PhD student at the department of physics and technology at the University of Bergen. My research focuses on subsurface CO2 storage and security on several scales; from pore-scale to room-scale (https://fluidflower.w.uib.no/). Prior to shifting focus towards CO2 storage I have 5 years experience as a reservoir engineer, working with optimizing oil and gas production, planning new wells to be drilled and generating short-term production budgets. I completed my master’s degree in reservoir physics in 2012, studying CO2 injection in fractured chalk for enhanced oil recovery.

Solveig Lie Onstad is a PhD candidate working on geophysical remote sensing of deep sea mineral deposits using an autonomous underwater vehicle as a platform. The objectives of her PhD project, which is sponsored by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, will be to establish a new framework that leverages on combined imagery, acoustic and electro-magnetic datasets to enhance detection and characterization of deep-sea environments such as active and inactive hydrothermal systems and ferromanganese crust. Her academic background started in 2012 as a bachelor student in geophysics at the University of Bergen. She then dived into the deep sea during her MSc in geochemistry at the K.J. Jebsen Centre for Deep Sea Research.
