The prize is awarded to individuals or teams for outstanding work in advancing Open Science related to Earth and space science and its impact globally.

Matthew Siegfried, assistant professor of geophysics, is one of five co-authors on a new paper published Aug. 18 in Science Advances.

Eileen Martin, assistant professor at Colorado School of Mines, has been awarded the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Activity Group on Geosciences Early Career Prize.

Colorado School of Mines is a top spot for graduate education in earth sciences and engineering, according to the latest rankings from U.S. News and World Report.

The funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will advance the development of a potential carbon storage hub in the Pueblo, Colorado area capable of securely store 50 or more million metric tons of carbon dioxide deep underground.

"There are places on Earth that we still haven’t explored,” said Matthew Siegfried, assistant professor of geophysics at Colorado School of Mines and a lead author of the paper, published March 9 in Geology. “We have now one sample trying to understand an environment that is one and a half times the size of the continental United States."

Siegfried's focus is Whillans Ice Stream in West Antarctica, whose flow has been slowing over the course of several decades.

Geophysics faculty, students and alumni at Colorado School of Mines are looking below the surface to enable innovation in energy, infrastructure, space exploration — and beyond.
