Kristoffer Eikehaug

Craftsman-turned-academic Kris has developed a brand new experimental method in subsurface flow physics, specifically addressing shortcomings of established science in its transition from hydrocarbon production to geological carbon storage. He is a chronic multitasker and curatator of the reservoir physics laboratories and the faculty workshop at the University of Bergen’s Department of Physics and Technology, and was recently awarded faculty renovator of the year. 

About the FluidFlower: 

The FluidFlower sandbox has risen to fame amongst geological carbon storage enthusiasts and has captivated audiences from kindergartners to decision makers. A live demonstration serves as a uniquely real platform for communicating the governing physics of what happens kilometers underground during industrial scale CO2 storage operations. FluidFlower experiments serve as ground truth for current scientific best practice for subsurface CO2-water interaction simulation, globally.
