Charlotte Garing
Assistant Professor
I am a geoscientist with a multi-disciplinary background in physics, environmental engineering, land management, geophysics, hydrogeology and energy engineering.
I got my education in France, where I am from. After a PhD combining field monitoring, laboratory experiments and X-ray micro-CT imaging to study geochemical reactions and flow in a coastal carbonate aquifer, I started using my experimental and image analysis skills to investigate similar processes in the context of CO2 storage in saline aquifers as a Postdoc at CNRS in France. I then joined Sally Benson's group at Stanford University to work as a Postdoc within the DOE-EFRC Center for Nanoscale Control of Geologic CO2.
Since 2019, I am an Assistant Professor of Hydrogeology in the Department of Geology at the University of Georgia.
I teach the following undergraduate and graduate courses:
-
Environmental Geoscience (GEOL1120)
-
Earth Processes and Environments (GEOL1121E)
-
Surficial and Near-Surficial Processes (GEOL3020/3020L)
-
Hydrogeology (GEOL4220/6220)
-
Advanced Hydrogeology (GEOL8700)
