About
Melanie Dunger is a pioneering geoscientist whose research focuses on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and sub-seabed geological storage, with a particular emphasis on basalt formations as a scalable climate solution. Her most cited work, the 2024 pilot project on the Reykjanes Ridge, demonstrates the feasibility of storing CO₂ in sub-seabed basalt—a method that could permanently sequester hundreds of billions of tonnes of carbon to meet global warming targets below 2 °C. This groundbreaking study, with 9 citations, highlights her role in advancing CDR methodologies that are both effective and near-term deployable. Dunger’s contributions bridge marine geology and climate engineering, offering a tangible pathway to counterbalance residual emissions. Her work is notable for its direct relevance to international climate goals, positioning her as a key voice in the urgent search for durable carbon storage solutions.
