CO2 Pipeline Integrity: Comparison of a Coupled Fluid-structure Model and Uncoupled Two-curve Methods
Abstract One challenge in CCS is related to the prevention of running-ductile fracture in CO2-carrying pipelines. Commonly used tools for ensuring crack arrest in pipelines hinge mainly on semi-empirical models, which may not be appropriate for CO2...

Numerical Modeling of Atmospheric Water Content and Probability Evaluation. Part I
Abstract A numerical simulation of tropical atmosphere in radiative convective equilibrium has been carried out and water data in different phases have been analyzed. 3D data have been averaged in space and time using as energy variable to sort them ...

A correlation between damage and intensity on old masonry churches in Colima, Mexico by the 2003 M7.5 earthquake
Abstract Strong damage was observed in Colima Mexico on most of the cultural patrimony (mainly churches) after the 2003 M7.5 earthquake. In order to find a correlation between the observed damage on the historical buildings and the earthquake...

Measurement of the oxidative potential of PM2.5 and its constituents: The effect of extraction solvent and filter type
Abstract The capacity of Particulate Matter (PM) to oxidise target molecules, defined as its oxidative potential (OP), has been proposed as a biologically more relevant metric than PM mass. Different assays exist for measuring OP and their...

QICS Work Package 1: Migration and Trapping of CO2 from a Reservoir to the Seabed or Land Surface
Abstract Natural CO2 seeps can be used as analogues for studies into surface flux and impact resulting from leaking engineered geological CO2 reservoirs. However their long-lived nature often means that the local environment has either adapted or...

Effect of Data Uncertainty on Trihalomethanes Prediction in Water Supply Systems Using Kinetic Models
Abstract The present work compares the performances of first and second order kinetic models for predicting trihalomethanes (THMs) formation in a real case-study. The kinetic parameters are evaluated through an automatic calibration procedure, in...

Employing extant stable carbon isotope data in Gulf of Mexico sedimentary organic matter for oil spill studies
Abstract We have compiled and mapped available carbon isotope data from sedimentary organic material sampled from the Gulf of Mexico prior to 2010. These data provide a baseline to which any changes in the Gulf of Mexico after the 2010 Deepwater...

Characteristics of liquefaction in Tokyo Bay area by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake
Abstract The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake caused the severe liquefaction of reclaimed lands in the Tokyo Bay area, from Shinkiba in Tokyo through Urayasu, Ichikawa and Narashino Cities to Chiba City. However, the reclaimed lands that had been...

Clay Hydration/dehydration in Dry to Water-saturated Supercritical CO2: Implications for Caprock Integrity
Abstract Injection of supercritical CO2 (scCO2) for the geologic storage of carbon dioxide will displace formation water, and the pore space adjacent to overlying caprocks could eventually be dominated by dry to water- saturated scCO2. Wet scCO2 is...

Impact of Nitrogen Fertilizer Application on Nitrous Oxide Emission in Oil Palm Plantation
Abstract This study investigates the impact of N-fertilizer application on the emission of nitrous oxide (N2O) in oil palm plantations. The soil sampling was undertaken at three different oil palm plantations of different land use, i.e. transformed...

ENSO Effect on Black Sea Precipitation
Abstract El Nino Southern Oscillation is one of the most important oceanic-atmospheric events on the world, which sometimes considerably affects the climates of the countries, i.e. the hydrologic parameters of the regions. Hence, the aim of this...

A new method of discriminating different types of post-Archean ophiolitic basalts and their tectonic significance using Th-Nb and Ce-Dy-Yb systematics
Abstract In this paper, a new discrimination diagram using absolute measures of Th and Nb is applied to post-Archean ophiolites to best discriminate a large number of different ophiolitic basalts. This diagram was obtained using >2000 known...
