Kelly Rose is a researcher and Geology-Geospatial Team Lead with the National Energy Technology Laboratory’s (NETL) Office of Research & Development. Her research at NETL is focused on using geologic and geospatial research to reduce uncertainty about, characterize and understand spatial relationships between energy and natural systems at a range of scales. She serves on advisory committees including the Department of Interior’s National Geologic and Geophysical Data Preservation Program, United Nations Environmental Programme’s global outlook on methane gas hydrates, New Zealand’s Gas Hydrate Resources Program, and the University of Southern California’s Induced Seismicity and Reservoir Monitoring Consortiums. She is associate editor for the Journal of Sustainable Energy Engineering, a member of NETL’s SFIRE team (Synergistic Fossil Integrations for Renewable Energy) which seeks to find hybrid energy solutions in support of sustainable and environmentally responsible energy needs, and she is also NETL ORD’s Technical Lead for their Offshore Energy Resources Research Portfolio focusing on reducing risks and impacts associated with offshore hydrocarbon development. Rose serves as the Coordinator for NETL’s Energy Data eXchange (EDX), a public and private knowledge management and online coordination/collaboration tool developed by Rose and the EDX team for NETL.
