Stuart Gilfillan at Fagradalsfjall volcano eruption site in 2022

Visiting the Fagradalsfjall volcano eruption site in 2022 during a sampling trip

My research is focused on developing geochemical tracing tools for GeoEnergy applications. My early research established the noble gas and stable isotope fingerprints of natural CO2 reservoirs and the lessons that could be learned from these for engineered geological CO2 storage. I then focused on determining the potential for noble gases and stable isotopes to be used as tracers for CO2 monitoring within CO2 storage sites and as early warning tracers of unplanned CO2 migration. Recently, I have been applying these tools to the monitoring, reporting and verification of CO2 mineralisation and geothermal energy provision, whilst maintaining an interest in the geochemical evolution of the Earth’s mantle.
