LONG
Marc Bustin is a leading coal and petroleum geologist who has gained international recognition for his pioneering research into the formation and preservation of carbon-rich rocks, the chemical and physical properties of such rocks, and the accumulation of modern peat deposits. He has laid the critical foundation for our understanding of the factors that control the commercial recovery of methane from coal beds and the potential sequestration of waste gases by coals. His work is rapidly leading to the development of new technologies for storing greenhouse gases, notably carbon dioxide, in underground coal repositories.
