Multicomponent vs. Classical Geothermometry: An Evaluation using Reactive Transport Modeling
Abstract Reactive transport simulations were used to examine the chemical evolution of deep geothermal fluids as they ascend to the surface, and to assess constraints on the application of solute geothermometers. Al and Mg concentrations of deep...

TECA: A Parallel Toolkit for Extreme Climate Analysis
Abstract We present TECA, a parallel toolkit for detecting extreme events in large climate datasets. Modern climate datasets expose parallelism across a number of dimensions: spatial locations, timesteps and ensemble members. We design TECA to...

Role for carbon capture and storage in China
Abstract Coal is China’s primary fuel for power generation and will almost certainly remain so for the foreseeable future. China had an installed power generation capacity of a little over 700GWe in 2007, which is projected to nearly double within...

CO2 storage capacity calculations for the Dutch subsurface
Abstract Estimating the capacity of a geological formation to store CO2 is not a straightforward or simple process. Bradshaw [1] has recently listed various estimations for both regional and global CO2 storage capacity. The estimations were quoted...

Impact of the oxy-fuel combustion on the corrosion behavior of advanced austenitic superheater materials
Abstract Although the road-map of the oxy-fuel process seems to be very advanced, there are still plenty of open questions. One of the significant ones is the corrosive behaviour of the heat exchanger surfaces. The Institute of Combustion and Power...
