Dr. Tiago Antonio Morais

Dr. Morais is an Experienced Researcher, Environmental Services Division at InnoTech Alberta, bringing more than 5 years of experience in assessing the source, transport, and fate of fugitive gases in the subsurface. Dr. Morais holds a PhD in Hydrogeology from the University of Calgary, as well as an MSc and BSc in Geology from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. While working as a postdoctoral associate, he evaluated the use of Radon as a geogenic tracer to detect the presence of preferential pathways for the migration of fugitive gases in the vicinity of energy wells with surface casing vent flow and CO2 storage facilities. During his PhD, Dr. Morais focused on evaluating the potential environmental impacts associated with the migration of fugitive gases in the vicinity of leaky energy wells. His current interests include applying isotopic tools and noble gases to evaluate the presence of preferential pathways for the migration of gases in the subsurface as well as studying groundwater and surface water interactions.
