EERI

The UBC Energy and Environment Research Initiative (EERI) is a field focused research program directed by Professor Roger Beckie and Dr. Aaron Cahill at the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, UBC Vancouver. EERI is a collaborative research program involving leading earth science and environmental engineering researchers from across Canada. EERI's core mission is to increase knowledge on fugitive gas leakage from energy resource development and in particular to advance understanding of sub-surface fugitive gas reactive transport through the critical zone (i.e. through shallow groundwater and into the atmosphere). Through its portfolio of research investigations, EERI aims to assess the environmental risks posed by fugitive gas, aid design and development of effective monitoring and detection methodologies, and help develop risk management strategies... The cornerstone of EERI investigations is the operation of a multi-disciplinary field research station in the Peace..
