Daniel P. Schrag
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daniel P. Schrag is Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Director of the Laboratory for Geochemical Oceanography at Harvard University and an external professor at the Santa Fe Institute. He co-wrote the Snowball Earth hypothesis with his Harvard colleague Paul F. Hoffman.
In 2004, Harvard President Lawrence Summers selected Dr. Schrag to direct the Harvard University Center for Environment.
Dr. Schrag is well known for his work constructing geologic temperature records with deep marine sediments and corals. He is also known for working on a wide variety of scientific issues from the paleo-climate history to engineering solutions to anthropogenic climate change. His recent work with Kurt Zenz House (Harvard University) and Charles Harvey (MIT) has focused on the feasibility of storing captured CO2 as dense liquid and solid hydrate in deep ocean sediments.
In February of 2007, Dr. Schrag published a prospective in Science Magazine titled, "Preparing to Capture Carbon." In that article, Dr. Schrag advocated a large scale effort to prepare the world to capture carbon dioxide from large point sources and store the CO2 in various geologic repositories.
