Seismic Modeling of the AVO/AVA Response to CO2 Injection at the Ketzin Site, Germany
Abstract Over 64 kilotons of CO2 have been injected (May, 2013) into a heterogeneous sandstone reservoir (saline aquifer) at 630-650 m depth. 4D seismics have been applied to monitor CO2 at the Ketzin site. However, the obtained time-lapse seismic...

Adsorption Properties of Chalk: Contributions from Calcite and Clays
Abstract Water and ethanol vapour adsorption measurements were used to estimate the contribution from calcite and clay (kaolinite) on the adsorption behaviour of outcrop chalk. Both sets of measurements indicate that adsorption isotherms of chalk...

Modeling the Soiling of Glazing Materials in Arid Regions with Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Abstract The deposition of dust and other airborne particles on the glazing of solar collectors (soiling) reduces its transmittance and therefore its efficiency significantly. This effect is particularly relevant in arid regions with high amounts of ...
