School of Sandstone Reservoirs

From Sediment Generation to Diagenesis and Subsurface Energy Solutions

The School of Sandstone Reservoirs bridges fundamental sedimentology with applied subsurface energy solutions. Through rigorous scientific training and industry collaboration, we advance understanding of sandstone systems from source to sink — and from conventional hydrocarbons to emerging applications in geothermal energy, CO₂ storage, and hydrogen production.

Our annual intensive program brings together leading researchers, early-career scientists, and industry professionals to explore the full lifecycle of sandstone reservoirs: sediment generation, transport, deposition, diagenetic modification, and their roles in the global energy transition.
