Geophysical Monitoring for Geologic Carbon StorageEditie 1

Methods and techniques for monitoring subsurface carbon dioxide storage

Storing carbon dioxide in underground geological formations is emerging as a promising technology to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. A range of geophysical techniques can be deployed to remotely track carbon dioxide plumes and monitor changes in the subsurface, which is critical for ensuring for safe, long-term storage.

Geophysical Monitoring for Geologic Carbon Storage provides a comprehensive review of different geophysical techniques currently in use and being developed, assessing their advantages and limitations.

Volume highlights include:

• Geodetic and surface monitoring techniques
• Subsurface monitoring using seismic techniques
• Subsurface monitoring using non-seismic techniques
• Case studies of geophysical monitoring at different geologic carbon storage sites
