Biography

Kara is currently Assistant Professor of Sedimentology and Lead of the Sustainable GeoEnergy Research Group within the UCD School of Earth Sciences. The contribution of geological applications in our energy future will be significant in terms of geological storage (carbon dioxide; hydrogen) as well as alternative energy sources such as geothermal energy. Kara's research interests include the challenges and solutions of the energy transition in Ireland and across Europe, as well as sedimentology, basin analysis, and integrated reservoir assessment. Previous research projects include establishing the Standard Stratigraphic Nomenclature Framework for Ireland’s Offshore Sedimentary Basins with the Department of Environment, Communications and Climate Action. Prior to academic and government roles, she worked in the petroleum industry as an exploration and development geologist, and has worked on projects in over 40 countries throughout North, South & Central America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Originally from Canada, she has also be involved with Canadian mineral exploration, mining, hydrology, aggregate potential mapping and field work projects with the British Columbia Geological Survey in northern Canada. She holds a BSc from University of Victoria (Canada), and a PhD from University of Manchester (UK), where she maintains collaborative links with the North African Research Group in Manchester. She is a chartered geologist (CGeol) with the Geological Society of London.
