We welcome CO2 experts, geoscience students, stakeholders and anyone who may be interested to join this open, free of charge, online seminar on the 9th of March:
“Recent progress with CO2 storage monitoring and development of integrated methods”.
Establishing sophisticated, long-term monitoring schemes is a prerequisite for public acceptance and risk reduction in geological CO2 storage. Research on geophysical and geochemical methods for quantifying and predicting CO2 movement in the subsurface has advanced significantly in later years. We have invited international experts: M. Kendall, S. Gilfillan and A.P. Rinaldi to share from their perspective what is the state of the art with respect to geophysical and geochemical monitoring methods, and CLIMIT research projects HNET and ICO2P will present results from Norwegian CCS operations. Finally: we will invite the seminar participants (you!) to ask questions and engage in discussing important aspects of developing optimized monitoring schemes for the future:
Integrating geophysical and geochemical monitoring methods - what can we learn from each other, how far have we come, where are the knowledge gaps and where do we go from here?
