Stauffer has over 30 years experience in radioactive waste management simulations, both locally at the Los Alamos site and more broadly as part of the DOE's high-level waste program. Stauffer has over 20 years of experience in CO2 sequestration simulations and was a lead developer of the first generation of the National Risk Assessment Partnership Integrated Assessment Model (NRAP-IAM). Collaborations with universities have allowed Stauffer to explore gas flow on Mars, sea-floor convection, and volcanic hydrothermal systems.
