This #NationalInternDay, we celebrate Madeline Bartels, whose research to verify and quantify carbon mineralization was recently published in the journal Analytical Chemistry: bit.ly/46lLt8v
Photo of PNNL intern Madeline Bartels smiling at the camera, with sparsely vegetated hills and the Columbia River in the background. Madeline visited the basalt field near the site of the Wallula, WA carbon storage demonstration project, where in 2015 PNNL researchers validated the rapid CO2 mineralization rates observed from years of laboratory testing with basalts.
