Our research group develops mathematical models, numerical methods, and professional software for the computational geosciences. The primary focus is on subsurface applications, including petroleum production, geothermics, carbon storage, and ground water. We also work with ocean forecasting, microfluidics, lead a Gemini center on quantum computing, and have for the past two decades organized the Geilo Winter Schools in computational sciences.

• 17 scientists with a PhD in mathematics, physics and geology
• 20+ years of continuous involvment in industrial and academic research
• 20+ publications in leading journals and conferences anually
• 15+ years track record in developing open-source, community software (MRST and OPM) and sharing open data (CO₂ DataShare) 

You can find many examples of our research activities related to subsurface simulation on the MRST website, including work on flow diagnostics and multiscale methods. Our two open-access textbooks on MRST (book 1, book 2) will give you more details, or you could watch one of our recent overview lectures that explain the history and the capabilities of this software (90 min version, 30 min version). The GeoScale webpages document activities from the early years of the research group.

Over the past 4-5 years, we have worked a lot on transferring our expertise developed for the oil and gas industry into other geoscience applications related to geothermal energy and water-related problems. Norwegian speaking readers can get some idea from the following popular-science articles:
