Leakage detection and characterization through pressure monitoring
Abstract Characterization of the CO2 leakage pathways from the storage formations into overlying formations is required. We present a flow and pressure test to locate and characterize the leaks. The flow test is based on the injection (or...

An Integrated Carbon Accounting and Mitigation Framework for Greening the Industry
Abstract Greenhouse gases (GHG) emission from industry is one of the potent contributors to the global warming. In industry, the source of carbon emissions related to an industry premise can be categorized into two major types, i.e., direct carbon...

Investigation of Ultrafine Particle Emissions of Desktop 3D Printers in the Clean Room
Abstract It is getting more popular to use desktop 3D printers either at homes or offices, which may emit a large amount of particles when in use. This work aims to obtain accurate size-resolved particle emission rates from both single and two...

State of the art in modelling of phosphorus in aquatic systems: Review, criticisms and commentary
Abstract This systematic review considers how water quality and aquatic ecology models represent the phosphorus cycle. Although the focus is on phosphorus, many of the observations and discussion points here relate to aquatic ecosystem models in...

Quantifying lithological variability in the mantle
Abstract We present a method that can be used to estimate the amount of recycled material present in the source region of mid-ocean ridge basalts by combining three key constraints: (1) the melting behaviour of the lithologies identified to be...

More than the Fish: Environmental Flows for Good Policy and Governance, Poverty Alleviation and Climate Adaptation
Abstract Environmental flows continue to shift conceptually from a utilitarian means of protecting ‘environmental’ needs – often equated with specific fish species of economic and/or conservation value – within the water resources planning and...
