Workshop 2 – 31 October 2025
Organised by EAGE Special Interest Community on Geoscience Communication & Public Engagement
This workshop on geoscience communication and public engagement aims to enhance the ability of participants to convey complex geoscientific concepts through creative forms, including visual and non-verbal skills. Attendees will learn how different delivery styles influence the way geoscientific messages are received, and they will explore ways to engage and educate their audiences, making scientific information more accessible and engaging. The workshop includes hands-on activities, interactive exercises, and practical applications, ensuring participants leave with improved communication skills and best practices to convey their message with impact.
You will be required to sign in upon arrival and sign out upon departure.
The role of geoscientists in the energy conversation, with context and case studies.
Speaker: Chris Jackson, Technical Director of Subsurface Storage, WSP
Interactive engagement strategies, visual communications, and skill-building.
Speakers:

SLB
Dariusz obtained his MSc at Wroclaw University in Poland in 2002.
After his PhD (2007) in geology, gas isotope geochemistry and microbiology at the Indiana University, Bloomington, he has worked in Subsurface Technology at ConocoPhillips for three years followed by one year of consulting (Dariusz BioGeoChem) working on petroleum systems and subsurface biomethane stimulation.
In 2012 he has joined SLB and since then has been developing interpretation workflowsand answer products for surface formation evaluation (mud gas and cuttings logging). Since couple of years his works involves H2 and helium logging and exploration, for which the global activity is rapidly growing.
This topic also brings ideas of stimulated natural H2 in the subsurface, which brings together geological and fluid geochemistry knowledge to a new level of collaboration among academic and industrial communities.
Dariusz is very active within the geochemistry community, with multiple peer-reviewed papers and chapters, numerous conference-related activities, journal editorships, and intellectual property publications.
