Edward Teller is best known for his work on the development of nuclear explosives and for his advocacy of a strong defense for America. He is also a noted physicist and the author of more than 100 technical publications, several books, some patents, and numerous articles in the popular media. Born in Budapest in 1908, Dr. Teller received his Ph.D. in physics under Werner Heisenberg in 1930; he continued to work under Heisenberg for another year. In 1931–1932, he worked at the University of Göttingen, in association with James Franck and Arnold T. Euken. When the Nazis rose to power, he left Germany and spent a year (1933–1934) in Copenhagen at the Niels Bohr Institute on a Rockefeller Fellowship. In 1939 when the discovery of fission was announced, Dr. Teller was a theoretical physicist, working in the fields of quantum physics, molecular physics, and nuclear physics. After a short sojourn in London, he was appointed professor of physics at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where he continued to work until 1941.

In 1941, Dr. Teller’s interest turned to the use of nuclear energy, both fission and fusion, and he began work on the Manhattan Project at Columbia University and the University of Chicago with Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard. In 1943, he continued his work on both fission explosions and early plans for thermonuclear bombs at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Growing concerns about climate change partly as a result of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions has prompted the research community to assess technologies and policies for sequestration. This report contains presentations of a symposium held in April of 2002. The sequestration options range form ocean disposal, terrestrial disposal in geologic formations, biomass based approaches and carbon trading schemes. The report also presents current efforts at enhanced oil recovery using carbon dioxide and demonstrating its utility. The volume is intended only as introduction to the subject and not the final word.
