Multi-phase Equilibrium in a CO2-filled Observation Well at the Ketzin Pilot Site
Abstract As part of the Ketzin pilot test site, carbon dioxide (CO2) has been injected into a saline formation around 650 m deep since June 2008. Analysis of measured well temperature and pressure data at two observation wells after the arrival of...

Regulating Carbon Dioxide Storage Operations Near Oil and Gas Fields, Australia's Approach
Abstract In 2008, the Australian Parliament passed legislation to establish a title system of access and property rights for geological storage of carbon dioxide in offshore waters. The new Act provides for petroleum titles and carbon dioxide...

Nocturnal intermittency in surface CO2 concentrations in sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract An exploratory study of CO2 concentrations and fluxes was conducted during 2013, at a site 12km North of Harare, Zimbabwe. CO2 measurements were made over four adjacent fields of differing surface vegetation. The data illustrate the role of ...

Limited effect of urban tree vegetation on NO2 and O3 concentrations near a traffic route
Abstract Concentrations of NO2 and O3 were measured inside and outside a dense broad-leaved forest canopy adjacent to a busy traffic route in the City of Gothenburg, Sweden, with duplicate passive diffusion samplers during six one-week periods...

A First Iteration of an Eco-efficiency Assessment of Sofia's Urban Water System
Abstract The recent publication of ISO standard 14045 for eco-efficiency assessment requires a focus on its implementation in a variety of contexts. The ISO standard gives only a general framework; its practical implementation requires a scientific...

Regulating a Pilot Project in the Absence of Legislation Specific to Carbon Storage
Abstract The CO2CRC Otway Project was initiated in 2004 as a first of a kind pilot project when there was no legislation for regulating Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) activities. After much deliberations on how this project was going to be...

A one hundred year review of the socioeconomic and ecological systems of Lake St. Clair, North America
Abstract There is a growing concern about continued impairment of aquatic ecosystems resulting from increasing population size, land use, climate change, and the feedbacks that may harm human well-being. We describe a 100year multi-disciplinary...

The Leakage Impact Valuation (LIV) Method for Leakage from Geologic CO2 Storage Reservoirs
Abstract Leakage of brine or carbon dioxide (CO2) from geologic CO2 storage reservoirs will trigger numerous costs. We present the Leakage Impact Valuation (LIV) method, a systematic and thorough scenario-based approach to identify these costs,...
