Assessment of the Relationship between Forest Habitats of Mushrooms and Geology in Grevena, Greece Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Abstract In this study Geographic Information Systems were used to investigate the relationship between forest habitats of mushrooms and the geology of an area. Mushrooms grow in different habitats, but the vast majority of them are strongly related ...

Upper crustal structure beneath Southwest Iberia north of the convergent boundary between the Eurasian and African plates
Abstract The 3-D P- and S-wave velocity models of the upper crust beneath Southwest Iberia are determined by inverting arrival time data from local earthquakes using a seismic tomography method. We used a total of 3085 P- and 2780 S-wave high...

Tracing Carbon: Natural Mineral Carbonation and The Incorporation of Atmospheric vs. Recycled CO2
Abstract Mineral carbonation is a process whereby CO2 reacts with ultramafic rocks to form carbonate minerals such as calcite (CaCO3) and magnesite (MgCO3). This process can be induced artificially at high pressures and temperatures and therefore...

Diagnostics for Reservoir Structure and CO2 Plume Migration from Multilevel Pressure Measurements
Abstract A monitoring method currently under investigation for CO2 sequestration involves having multiple, vertically distributed pressure sensors in a monitoring well extending down to the bottom of the storage reservoir. While above- zone...

Thin Layer Detectability in a Growing CO2 Plume: testing the Limits of Time-lapse Seismic Resolution
Abstract Time lapse seismic surveys covering the CO2 injection plume at Sleipner are used to test novel techniques which estimate the thickness of a spreading CO2 layer. Utilising the spectral content of the data, the methods extend the limited...

Anisotropy of strength and deformability of fractured rocks
Abstract Anisotropy of the strength and deformation behaviors of fractured rock masses is a crucial issue for design and stability assessments of rock engineering structures, due mainly to the non-uniform and non-regular geometries of the fracture...
