Variability of particulate flux over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Abstract The magnitude and composition of the sinking-particle flux were studied over the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) from June 2007 to July 2010. Four moorings equipped with dual sediment traps, 100m and 1000m above the sea floor, sampled...

Analysis of the Mechanical Behaviour of an All-round Fully Adhesive Supported Absorber
Abstract This paper discusses the mechanical behaviour of an all-round fully adhesive supported absorber. Previous research is discussed and compared to the author's own results collected using both laboratory tests and simulation. The influence of...

Development of TOUGH-FrontISTR, a Numerical Simulator for Environmental Impact Assessment of CO2 Geological Storage
Abstract This paper summarizes the development of a new numerical simulator for environmental impact assessment of CO2 geological storage and the results of case studies. The simulator is developed by coupling the multiphase fluid flow simulator...

A model study of the response of hypoxia to upwelling-favorable wind on the northern Gulf of Mexico shelf
Abstract The hypoxic region in the northern Gulf of Mexico, one of the largest man-made hypoxic zones in the world, has received extensive scientific study and management interest. A previous statistical study has concluded that in addition to...

Development and Field Application of Model for Leakage of CO2 Along a Fault
Abstract One of the key issues when considering geologic storage of CO2 is the risk of leakage from the storage area. Faults and the damage zones surrounding them may provide such a conduit. Quantifying CO2 flux along a fault requires methods to...

CCU&S via Stacked Storage—case Studies from CO2-EOR Basins of the United States
Abstract Most compilations of global CO2 storage capacity separate volumes of storage in oil fields from volumes of storage in nonproductive saline formations. In this study we begin to define accessible volumes by strategically combining CO2 use...

Inferring the Shape of Fractures and Hydraulic Properties of the Coal Seam Using Inverse Modeling on Pumping Test Results – Broke, NSW, Australia
Abstract Coal seam gas or coal bed methane production is becoming a significant industry in Australia. The area around the Broke township (located in the north-west of the Sydney Basin) has had coal seam gas exploration activities over the last...

On Using a Gradient-based Method for Heliostat Field Layout Optimization
Abstract The most widely used methods for heliostat field optimization assume a particular pattern and then optimize the parameters that define the pattern to obtain a specified objective such as optimum optical efficiency or maximum power output....

Strength criterion for rocks under compressive-tensile stresses and its application
Abstract Estimating in-situ stress with hydraulic borehole fracturing involves tensile strength of rock. Several strength criteria with three parameters result in tensile strengths with great differences, although they may describe the relation...

The coal cleat system: A new approach to its study
Abstract After a general analysis regarding the concept of coal “cleat system”, its genetic origin and practical applications to coalbed methane (CBM) commercial production and to CO2 geological sequestration projects, the authors have developed a...
