Summary Thoughts on SERC Research
• Research must be Fact Based
• Research must include Resource Development and Environment
• Natural geologic migration barriers important
• Monitoring & testing for control and assurance • Research to Support a Well Defined Regulatory Structure • Cooperation needed between ALL stakeholders
• Communication and education essential
