Sponsoring Digital Rocks Portal

Sponsor Digital Rocks Portal via UT Giving page and help Digital Rocks Portal share powerful imaged datasets of porous materials in the subsurface (such as rocks and soil), connect them to simulation and analysis, as well as educate students and the research community by organizing workshops and mini-courses. This in turn enables data-based science and engineering: understanding subsurface processes on multiple time and length scales can inform important environmental, civil, and petroleum engineering decisions and address key geological questions. Examples include containing the spread of toxins or harmful bacteria in watersheds, designing safe dams, improving recovery of hydrocarbons, and understanding the history of rock formation.
