Dr. DiGiulio is a retired geoscientist from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development. He has conducted research on: emissions of volatile organic compounds from abandoned wells, leakage of produced water, condensate, and drilling fluids from impoundments to groundwater, contamination of groundwater from hydraulic fracturing, subsurface methane and carbon dioxide migration (stray gas), intrusion of subsurface vapors into indoor air (vapor intrusion), gas flow-based subsurface remediation (soil vacuum extraction, bioventing), groundwater sampling methodology, soil-gas sampling methodology, gas permeability testing, and solute transport of contaminants in soil. He assisted in the development of EPA’s original guidance on vapor intrusion and the EPA’s Class VI Rule on geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide (Tier II Committee). https://commissionshift.org/news/companies-are-poised-to-inject-millions-of-tons-of-carbon-underground-will-it-stay-put/
