STEMM-CCS are going to be in Melbourne at the GHGT-14 meeting from 21-26 October 2018. In addition to eleven oral and poster presentations from STEMM-CCS project members, we also have a stand in the main exhibition hall highlighting the projects aims and objectives, sharing some early results and showcasing the 2019 controlled release experiment that will take place at the Goldeneye site in the North Sea.

Session details for the STEMM-CCS related presentations are as follows:
