There is growing concern about the transfer of methane originating from water bodies to atmosphere. Methane sediments can reach atmosphere directly via bubbles or indirectly vertical turbulent transport. This work quantifies gas bubble dissolution using a combination modeling and acoustic observations rising determine what fraction transported by will The model predicts evolving size, composition, rise distance suitable for almost all aquatic environments. was validated argon measurements...
Near surface gas measurements are presented from a shallow (20 m depth) CO2 injection experiment at the Field Lab site in Svelvik, Norway, which was designed to test variety of monitoring tools. Small areas seepage were detected during and these spread as rate increased. These features only accounted for small fraction injected gas. Isotopic revealed traces 50 cm depth nearer point. The spatial extent this is unknown but it not likely imply significant amount seepage. locations escape...
Radon (222Rn) is a natural radioactive gas formed in rocks and soil by the decay of its parent nuclide (238-Uranium). The rate at which radon migrates to surface, be it along faults or directly emanated from shallow soil, represents Geogenic Potential (GRP) an area. Considering that GRP often linked indoor risk levels, we have conducted multi-disciplinary research to: (i) define local GRPs investigate their relationship with associated Rn levels; (ii) evaluate inhaled radiation dosages...
The RISCS (Research into Impacts and Safety in Carbon Storage) project is investigating potential environmental impacts of CO2 leakage. At ASGARD (Artificial Soil Gassing Response Detection), a fully-replicated facility for controlled injection soil, investigations have been carried out to determine the effects elevated soil on crops, microbiology, flux concentration.
New methods for the monitoring of CO 2 near ground surface at geological storage sites have been tested over areas natural emission. Mobile open path laser measurements and ground-surface portable infrared show great promise rapid assessment large areas. Such techniques would help to focus more detailed investigations needed verify extent source gas being emitted. It is envisaged that they be used in conjunction with established field laboratory continuous as part an overall strategy a site.
Abstract Here, we investigate the importance of net CH 4 production and emissions in carbon (C) budget a small productive lake by monitoring , CO 2 O for two consecutive years. During study period, was mostly emitter both while showing positive ecosystem production. The analyses suggest that during whole 32% ± 26% C produced ultimately converted to emitted atmosphere. When global warming potential, emission (in equivalents) about 3–10 times higher than removal from in‐lake over 100‐yr 20‐yr...
Radon (²²Rn) is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that occurs in rocks and soils, its migration pathways are influenced by geological faults. These processes can significantly increase radon leakage into buildings, posing significant health risk. Classified as carcinogen the World Health Organisation, exposure to has required establishment of national reference levels across Europe under Directive 2013/59/EURATOM identification Priority Areas (RPAs) guide remediation...
ABSTRACT The increasing global focus on carbon sequestration underscores the need for comprehensive CO 2 storage atlases, extending beyond Europe and America to other countries that are significant contributors dioxide emissions. This article addresses this imperative by examining potential in Lurestan area of Iran, with a specific static reservoir modelling capacity calculation. Our approach involves evaluating reservoirs using seismic data well logs followed site ranking Analytic Hierarchy...

Sites of natural CO2 leakage provide opportunities to study the potential environmental impacts such on near-surface ecosystems. As part FP7 RISCS (Research into Impacts and Safety in Storage) project a geochemical, botanical microbiological have been conducted vent Florina, Greece findings are compared with results drawn from Latera, Italy Laacher See, Germany. Plant microbial communities appear adapted long-term exposure. Therefore may not be representative effects man made storage sites.
