The under-ice soundscape in Great Slave Lake near the city of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada
Abstract Most recent research and monitoring of under-water “soundscapes” has focused on marine systems in open water conditions. Here we present the first long-term assessment of the diel and seasonal patterns of a fresh-water aquatic soundscape...

Impact of Reservoir Conditions on CO2-brine Relative Permeability in Sandstones
Abstract We demonstrate experimentally, that the spatial distribution of fluids in the pore space is the primary control on CO2 relative permeability, and that the importance of spatial heterogeneity in rock properties such as capillarity, porosity...

Numerical Modelling of Pollutant Propagation in Lake Baikal during the Spring Thermal Bar
Abstract In this paper, the phenomenon of the thermal bar in Lake Baikal and the propagation of pollutants from the Selenga River are studied with a nonhydrostatic mathematical model. An unsteady flow is simulated by solving numerically a system of...
