Biography

Before joining CSIRO, Karsten worked in Canada for the provincial petroleum industry regulator, the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, on the hydrogeological assessment of acid-gas injection projects. He currently is a principal research scientist in the CSIRO Energy business unit. In the past, Karsten was a project leader for Understanding CO2 storage in Saline Aquifers in the CO2CRC and leader of the CCS-RD In-situ Laboratory project that involved re-completing one of the wells at the South West Hub CCS Flagship project in Western Australia for monitoring and testing purposes. His main interest is the modelling of basin-scale impacts of fluid production and injection on groundwater flow and the assessment of underground fluid storage.
