An Introduction to Simple Climate Models The major components of the climate system that are important for climatic change and its consequences, such as sea level rise, during the next century are: the atmosphere, oceans, terrestrial biosphere, glaciers and ice sheets and land surface. In order to project the impact of human perturbations on the…
Subsurface Monitoring of Geological CO2 Storage
Course number
SU-02-504
PDH credits
7
Subsurface Monitoring of Geological CO2 Storage Geological sequestration can be used to reduce greenhouse CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. The three potential geological storage options are depleted oil and gas reservoirs, deep saline aquifers, and un-minable coal beds. Subsurface monitoring will be necessary for leak detection, to provide information for optimizing injection, and to support…
