CENTER

I -

n 1981 the University of Okla- hpma, building on a .tmditibn of strength in geology and petro- leum engineering, established

the Energy Center to focus on the education and research needs of the future. The Center combines all of the University's existing ariergy. related disciplines and, with thg aid of the new labr6todes and fcicili- ties, wifl strengthen and kpand its, program in depleting and renew- able energy sources. The Energy Center is re paring to play a piv- - ofal'role in providing education ind resear~h for future energy needs,

, which grow more critical with each passing year. .

The new Energy Center facilities currently under construction will provi.de 300,000 square feet for re- search laboratories, classrooms, iecture halts, library, computer facil- ities and administration. The labo- ratories will have the most modern equipment amikble, including __ computer-aided design; computer- aided seismics and imaging proc- essing; x-ray diffractorneter; x-ray fluorescence; drilling" mud- sim- ulator; drilling rig laboratory; pro- duction laboratory; thermodynamics taboratoty; and many others for both hydrocarbons and renewable .energy forms.

The following are research units of the Energy Center:

I COLLEGE OF GEOSCIENCES I School of Geology and

Geophysics Department of Geography School of Meteoroldgy

School of Petrol?um and Geologiml-Englneerlng

@ School of Chemical Engineer- ing and Materials Science

This book contains the names of the faculty of the Eriergy Center . and their research interests, capabilities, and activities.

The purpose of this listing is to provide the reader with a handy reference of the activity af the kc- ulty and to facilitate the futurg cooperative. efforts of the reader and the Energy Center in meeting

- the future's international energy
