▼ The safe sequestration of CO2 is pivotal to a successful carbon capture and storage scheme. Saline aquifers and depleted hydrocarbon fields in the North Sea are currently used as storage repositories for captured CO2 from anthropogenic sources. This is because they are deemed safe due to the presence of a sealing cap rock and large storage volume they provide. One such field is the Sleipner field, with over 13 million tonnes of CO2 injected into the Utsira Saline +Formation from 1996 to date. Careful monitoring of the injected CO2 into the formation has revealed growing reflections on nine identified sub-horizontal horizons, referred to as intra reservoir shales. The enhanced reflectivity of the shale layers is mainly caused by the high compressibility of the CO2, trapped beneath them, and by constructive tuning effects of the top and bottom reflections at the CO2 accumulations. Within the same data are chimneys – high permeability pathways that show up in the time lapse seismic images as zones of disturbed layering that cut nearly vertically through the interbedded thin shale layers in the reservoir sands. The presence of these intra-reservoir shales and chimneys affects the distribution pattern of CO2 in the reservoir and distorts the verification of known injected mass of CO2. The aim of the research is to interpret intra-reservoir shales and chimneys on the pre-injection seismic data, these features have previously only been identified in the post-injection time lapse seismic data. The characterisation of the 3D geometry of a reservoir from seismic data is crucial to understanding the parameters that control fluid distribution. The 1994 3D pre injection dataset was interpreted with the help of volumetric seismic attributes tied to a well log. This led to the characterisation of layers from the Utsira top layer to intra-Utsira Shales (IUTS) one to ten and Utsira base layer. A multi-attribute analysis was also used to identify chimneys within the data set. The results from the interpretation workflow were then tested, against the post-injection seismic image data. The CO2 plume visualised across the 4D seismic data set were recreated into geobodies to delineate their form and extent across the reservoir. These geobodies were analysed alongside the interpreted geometry (layers) to understand the effect the layers have in controlling the spatial distribution of the injected CO2. Further analysis was conducted on the geobodies (CO2 plume) to calculate the reservoir volume of CO2 and compare against the known injected amounts of CO2. The interpreted geometry of the plume was used to simulate the impact of the reservoir geometry on injected CO2. Models were created with input parameters derived from well logs and published data. Although limited (real time measurements), results from simulations reveal close resemblance with 4D seismic data set. This study has highlighted the possibility of identifying intra-reservoir shales and chimneys to inform site characterisation that can be performed before any CO2 injection…

▼ Current frameworks for analyzing forest carbon offset projects in disturbance-prone western forests often fail to address the dynamic nature of carbon pathways through time. They do not account for the probability of loss due to wildfire, which can influence the prediction of carbon storage at the end of a planning horizon. In such an environment, optimal treatment regimes over time are dependent on the decisions that affect carbon storage during the analysis period. Silvicultural regimes that include both pyrogenic and biogenic emissions from forests, as well as the storage in wood products, were modeled to demonstrate a method to maximize carbon storage. Stand-level optimization is suggested as a method for demonstrating the development of treatment regimes to enable a full range of carbon storage benefits. These include a reduction in the risk of catastrophic wildfire, increased terrestrial carbon density, and the offset of treatment costs. This methodology may also provide a baseline for a full accounting of forestry carbon offset projects. A model was developed to determine optimal management regimes that maximize the expected value of terrestrial carbon storage for three Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziessi) dominant forests in western Oregon. Carbon storage values for treatment combinations were weighted by the probability of fire occurrence and the loss of carbon due to fire. The model employs probabilistic dynamic programming to determine the optimal timing and intensity of silvicultural treatments by way of thinning-from-below. Also determined are location-dependent management regimes that maximize aboveground carbon storage with fire-suppression efforts. The stand location in respect to roads is examined, specifically in terms of the effect that access distance and slope position have on the optimal timing and intensity of fuel treatments and silvicultural activities. Optimal regimes are determined for a range of forest stands, varying by stand distance-to-road and the slope location of the road above or below the stand. Results suggest that a combination of let-grow and low-level density-reduction thinnings can store more aboveground terrestrial carbon in forests and long-lived wood products than grow-only control scenarios when fire is also present and fire-related emissions are accounted for. Additional expected carbon storage of optimal solutions compared to the 100-year gain for control scenarios ranged from 0 to 46%. This suggests that strategic planning by the optimization model can compete with the hedge method of the Voluntary Carbon Standard risk management, which employs carbon buffer pools to compensate for the risk associated with disturbance and can require the size of the buffer deposit to range from 10 to 60% of the generated carbon credits, depending on the risk class determined for a given project. Results also suggest that both stand location and fire suppression efforts did not impact the maximization of aboveground terrestrial carbon storage in forests and long-lived wood products… Advisors/Committee Members: Boston, Kevin D.

▼ Agroforestry, is defined as the intentional, intensive, integrated, and interactive combination of trees (including shrubs, palms, and bamboos), agricultural crops and/or animals (wildlife, insects, and livestock) on the same piece of land, managed as the same unit, to obtain different benefits and services. Under the perspective of mitigation of the climate change, agroforestry has been globally recognized as one of the most effective strategies, having a great potential for carbon (C) sequestration compared to the other land uses. Several studies of agroforestry systems have been conducted, investigating the quantity of C stored in the different pools (above and belowground biomass, soil), the sequestration dynamics and rates, and the economic features connected to the rise of C markets. This study explores whether or not agroforestry represents a valid strategy to mitigate the climate change. Using meta-analytical techniques the study compares the quantity of C stocked in these Agroforestry systems and its concomitant competitive land uses (intensive agricultural systems, monocultures, plantations). Results show that, on the average, agroforestry systems store 2.59-2.64 times more C in the biomass pool (aboveground and belowground) and 14% more organic C in the soil pool than other competitive land uses. Across the different practices, only multipurpose trees-based activities, such as homegardens, improved fallows, and woodlots denote positive and significant results, being able to stock 10.34 times more C in the biomass pool and 29% more organic C in the soil pool when compared to other land uses. Despite the encouraging positive results, different issues are related with the inconsistency of the datasets used in the study, which underlines the presence of publication bias and implies additional investigations for the future studies in order to avoid the misrepresentation of the analyzed phenomenon.

▼ Two forest management objectives being debated in the context of federally managed landscapes in the US Pacific Northwest involve a perceived trade-off between fire restoration and C sequestration. The former strategy would reduce fuel (and therefore C) that has accumulated through a century of fire suppression and exclusion that has led to extreme fire risk in some areas. The latter strategy would manage forests for enhanced C sequestration as a method of reducing atmospheric CO2 and associated threats from global climate change. We explored the tradeoff between these strategies by modeling their effects at both the stand and landscape-scale. We began with an assessment of the extent to which uncertainties in model parameter values, model structure, and field measurements can influence model performance. We adapted the generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) methodology for Biome-BGC, a widely used terrestrial ecosystem model. We found that the phenomenon of parameter equifinality exerted significant control on model performance, but that issues with model structure in the Biome-BGC model may present an even greater obstacle to model accuracy. We then examined the effects of fuel reduction on fire severity and the resulting long-term stand-level C storage by utilizing the STANDCARB model for three Pacific Northwest ecosystems: the east Cascades Ponderosa Pine forests, the west Cascades Western hemlock–Douglas fir forests, and the Coast Range Western hemlock– Sitka spruce forests. Finally, we then tested the extent to which various landscape-level fuel reduction treatments, when applied at various annual treatment areas, altered pyrogenic C emissions and long-term C storage in the east Cascades Ponderosa pine ecosystems. For this we employed the LANDCARB model, which models forests throughout a landscape on a stand-by-stand basis. Results from both the stand and landscape-level modeling indicate that, for fuel reduction treatments to be effective in reducing wildfire severity, they must be applied at higher frequencies and over larger areas than they are currently. Furthermore, fuel reduction treatments almost always reduce stand and landscape-level C storage, since reducing the fraction by which C is lost in a wildfire requires the removal of a much greater amount of C, since most of the C stored in forest biomass (stem wood, branches, coarse woody debris) remains unconsumed even by high-severity wildfires.

▼ Geological carbon sequestration is a promising technology to mitigate global warming. However, there are concerns that the acidic nature of the injected supercritical CO2 may dissolve minerals in the injection well seals or in other regions of the storage reservoir. Mineral dissolution could create pathways for CO2 to migrate to other geologic units. If mineral dissolution also mobilized contaminants (e.g., U, Pb, As), leakage of CO2 could pose risks to overlying drinking water reservoirs. In this study we examined the dissolution of specimen clay minerals in synthetic brine solutions under high pressure CO2 conditions (PT = 9.66 bar, PCO2 ≥ 8.66 bar CO2). Specimen clay minerals included nontronite NAu-2, montmorillonite SWy-2, and chlroite CCa-2. Unaltered and partially reduced NAu-2 (R-NAu-2) were used to measure the effect of clay-Fe(III) reduction on acid-promoted dissolution. Synthetic brines included 1.0 M NaCl, 0.33 M CaCl2, and 0.33 M Na2SO4. Uranium was used as a redox-active inorganic contaminant and was added either as soluble uranyl(VI) or sparingly soluble biogenic uraninite(IV). High pressure CO2 conditions were established by adding a measured mass of dry ice to a pressure tube containing clay mineral, brine, and U. Reaction kinetics were measured over a 15 day period by sacrificing pressure tubes, analyzing the supernatant for dissolved mineral components and U, and analyzing the speciation of Fe(II/III) in solution and in the clay mineral pellet. H3PO4-H2SO4 (1.40 M-0.50 M) was used to measure acid-promoted clay mineral dissolution in a stronger acid. Control reactors were maintained under ambient pressure conditions (PT = 1.0 bar, N2:H2 = 95:5%). For three types of unaltered clay minerals in three different brines, very little dissolution occurred, showing these clay minerals are stable under high pressure CO2 conditions. In 1.40 M H3PO4-0.50 M H2SO4 solution, increased acidity enhanced dissolution of unaltered NAu-2 and partially reduced NAu-2. R-NAu-2 was easier to be dissolved than unaltered NAu-2 under high pressure CO2 conditions and in 1.40 M H3PO4-0.50 M H2SO4. Fe(II) was less stable in clay mineral and acid dissolved Fe had higher Fe(II)/Fe ratios than clay mineral itself. No redox reactions between unaltered or partially reduced NAu-2 with U(VI) was observed. UO2 was oxidized by unaltered NAu-2, and reaction had a faster rate and greater extent under high pressure CO2 conditions than under ambient pressure conditions ((PT = 1.0 bar, N2:H2 = 95:5%)). Also, the redox reaction enhanced dissolution of unaltered NAu-2. Such CO2 enhanced dissolution of clay mineral and enhanced oxidation of UO2 to U(VI) (aq) indicates possible environmental risks related with carbon sequestration process.

▼ Mangroves forests are important ecosystems found along the coastlines throughout the tropical coast. They provide goods and services that are of ecological, environmental and cultural importance to society. Mangroves store exceptionally large quantities of carbon stocks. This carbon is bound to be emitted when mangroves are degraded. The objective of this study was to quantify total ecosystem carbon stocks for mangroves forest at Gazi Bay, Kenya. Three categories were selected for this study; 13 year old El Niño plantation, 19 year old Kinondo plantation and a Natural stand of R. mucronata. Plots of 10×10 m2 were selected in each study site. Four carbon pools were investigated; above and belowground vegetation carbon, dead wood and soil carbon. Additionally, Nitrates, Ammonium and Phosphates from the soil were also measured. Twenty five trees were harvested and used to develop biomass and volume equations of the form y = ax2 + bx +c, and Y = aXb respectively for the 19 year old Kinondo plantation. Biomass for carbon determination in Natural and El Niño stands was estimated using a general equation. Mean total C stocks in El Niño and Kinondo plantations was 914.5±237.3 and 812.6±186.5 Mg C ha-1 respectively, while the Natural stand contained significantly lower mean total C stocks of 692.9±142.9 Mg C/ha. (ANOVA, F; 2, 6 = 28.91, P < 0.05). Ammonium was the most abundant nutrient in the three sites. Belowground biomass was generally found to correlate negatively with the soil nutrients. This study show reforestation influences structural development of replanted mangroves and that replanted mangrove are significant carbon stores. Soil organic matter was signicantly high in plantations than in the Natural stand (F; 2, 92 = 8.89, P < 0.05). Proper monitoring is essential for continued verification of stored carbon stocks and improvement of data quality. Development of local allometric equations for all mangrove species can be useful estimating aboveground biomass carbon.

▼ The North Dakota portion of the Williston basin holds huge, but economically unmineable lignite resources in the Fort Union formation. A technology coupling the underground coal gasification with carbon capture and storage (UCG-CCS) is proposed in this study to recover these lignite resources in North Dakota. The UCG-CCS system provides a cost-effective and environment-friendly approach to convert the lignite to electricity and beneficially utilize the by-product of CO2 at the same time. The target coal seam is the Harmon lignite in the Fort Union formation in western North Dakota. The main objectives of this study are to set up the technology roadmap, conduct the preliminary feasibility study, and identify necessary future research works. Based on literature review, three UCG candidate sites were screened out, located in Dunn, Golden Valley, and Slope Counties, respectively. The selected site in Dunn County has the best potential to host the UCG-CCS project because of its suitable geological conditions and proximity to oil fields. A three-dimensional geological model, a facies model and an aquifers distribution model were built. It is also estimated that the nearby oil fields have a CO2 storage capacity of 18 million tones. So there exists a big market for beneficial utilization of CO2 in the study area. Environmental risks associated with UCG are always worth noting. The environmental risks usually result from the change of formation properties and the in situ stress field during the gasification process. Good understanding to the geomechanical, petrophysical and hydrogeological characteristics of the coal-bearing formation is important. A laboratory geomechanical study was conducted by using rock samples of the Harmon bed. The results show that the low strength of the adjoining rock would be considered as a disadvantage for structural stability. On the other hand, the low-permeable adjoining rocks function as a hydraulic seal to prevent the escape of contaminants during gasification process. An analytical study and numerical modeling of a conceptual commercial scale UCG plant were also carried out to analyze the stability of the cavities and the mining recovery factor of the coal seam. The allowable size of the UCG cavities and reasonable spacing between the cavities were estimated based on the stress profile and safety consideration. The results indicate the mining recovery factor is significantly affected by the presence of discontinuity in the formation. The methodologies and results provide a convenient and fast approach to estimate the economics of a UCG plant, once the fundamental properties of the coal-bearing formation are known. In the last part, the plant performance and cost of the UCG-CCS system were analyzed by analogue to an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant with CO2 capture. The results indicate that, as there is no surface gasifier and fuel handling system, the capital cost of a UCG-CCS system is significantly reduced by 50%, and the UCG-CCS system… Advisors/Committee Members: Z.W.

▼ Temperate forests are an important carbon sink, yet there is debate regarding the net effect of forest management practices on carbon storage. Few studies have investigated the effects of different silvicultural systems, and the relative strength of in-situ forest carbon versus wood products pools remains in question. Our research (1) describes the impact of harvesting frequency and degree of post- harvest structural retention on carbon storage in northern hardwood-conifer forests, and (2) tests the significance of including harvested wood products in carbon accounting at the stand scale. We stratified Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) plots to control for environmental, forest structural and compositional variables, resulting in 32 FIA plots distributed throughout the northeastern U.S. We used the USDA Forest Vegetation Simulator to project stand development over a 160 year period under nine different forest management scenarios. Simulated treatments represented a gradient of increasing structural retention and decreasing harvesting frequencies and included a “no harvest” scenario. The simulations incorporated carbon flux between aboveground forest biomass (dead and live pools) and harvested wood products (including carbon storage in landfills). Mean carbon storage over the simulation period, including carbon stored in harvested wood products, was calculated for each silvicultural scenario. We investigated tradeoffs among scenarios using a factorial treatment design and two-way ANOVA. The predictive strength of management scenarios relative to site-specific variables was evaluated using Classification and Regression Trees. Mean carbon sequestration was significantly (a = 0.05) greater for “no management” compared to any of the active management scenarios. Of the harvest treatments, those favoring high levels of structural retention and decreased harvesting frequency stored the greatest amounts of carbon. In order to isolate the effect of in-situ forest carbon storage and harvested wood products, we did not include the emissions benefits associated with substituting wood fiber for other construction materials or energy sources. Modeling results from this study show that harvesting frequency and structural retention significantly affect mean carbon storage. Our results illustrate the importance of both post-harvest forest structure and harvesting frequency in carbon storage, and are valuable to land owners interested in managing forests for carbon sequestration.

▼ The contemporary global climate crisis demands mitigation technologies to curb atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions, principally carbon dioxide (CO 2). Geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) is a method by which point source CO 2 emissions are purified and deposited in subsurface geologic formations for long-term storage. Accompanying this technology is the inherent responsibility to monitor these large-scale subsurface reservoirs for CO 2 leaks to ensure safety to local environments and inhabitants, as well as to alleviate global warming. Elevated CO 2 levels in soil are known to cause anoxic conditions in plant roots, thereby interfering with plant respiration and inducing a stress response that could possibly be remotely sensed using aerial imagery. Airborne remote sensing technology has the potential to monitor large land areas at a relatively small cost compared to alternative methods. In 2010, an aerial campaign was conducted during the height of the growing season to obtain an image time series that could be used to identify and characterize CO 2 stress in vegetation from a simulated CO 2 leak. An unsupervised classification was performed to classify CO 2 stressed vegetation as a result of the subsurface injection. Furthermore, a spectral index was derived to amplify the CO 2 stress signal and chart vegetation health trajectories for pixels affected by the CO 2 release. A theoretical framework was developed for analysis strategies that could be implemented to detect a CO 2 leak using aerial hyperspectral imagery with minimal a priori knowledge. Although aerial detection of CO 2 stressed vegetation was possible while no other physiological plant stressors were present, the spectral distinction between vegetation stress agents would have important implications for the appropriate timing that GCS monitoring using remote sensing data could commence. A greenhouse experiment was devised to compare the spectral responses of alfalfa plants to CO 2 and water stress in order to reveal whether CO 2 leak detection is possible when soil water availability is highly variable or during periods of drought. Spectral discernment of a CO 2 leak appears to be possible when soil water is spatially variable and during moderate drought conditions with remote sensing instruments that are sensitive to reflectance in the short wave infrared, where water absorption features related to leaf water content occur.

▼ The reduction of anthropogenic CO 2 emissions while still generating energy is a challenge that society faces. Most current energy production comes from fossil fuels that increase atmospheric CO 2 concentrations. Pending a breakthrough in clean energy production, technological solutions that increase efficiency and sequester CO 2 are required. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) or carbon sequestration technology can provide part of the solution by providing disposal of point source CO 2 emissions. The research described in this thesis aims to aid development of CCS technology. There are three parts to the thesis. First, is an experimental study of the Berea sandstone to determine the reactivity of its minerals, as these could impact its potential as a reservoir for CO 2 storage. Cores of Berea were placed in a "flow-through reactor" that pumped a continuous stream of supercritical CO 2 (scCO 2) mixed with simulated groundwater through the rock. Chemical and physical changes to the solid, liquid and gas phases were monitored. Second, batch experiments were conducted to study the behavior of pyrite, magnetite, hematite, and muscovite when subjected to simulated groundwater and scCO 2. Third, is an outcrop study of the Devonian Jefferson Formation, a carbonate formation to serve as an analog to the same formation in the subsurface where it is the target of a Department of Energy CCS pilot project. The field study provided analysis of the mineralogy, sedimentology, and stratigraphy so as to better understand its potential as a reservoir for CO 2 storage. The flow-through experiments on the Berea sandstone demonstrated that carbonate cement and iron oxides were reactive phases. It was equivocal as to whether muscovite was reactive. The batch experiments quantified the reactivity of iron oxides and pyrite and demonstrated significant dissolution of the scCO 2, such that supercritical conditions were not maintained for the duration of the experiment. The batch experiments also showed that muscovite was not reactive within the time frame of the Berea flow-through experiments (72 hours), but was reactive over longer time periods (500+ hours). The field study indicated that the best potential reservoir zones of the Jefferson Formation are altered reef complexes composed mostly of dolomite.

▼ While carbon fractionation approaches for mineral soils are well established, methods suitable for organic soils are lacking. This research addresses this gap and attempts to devise methods for comparison to model pools, such as used in RothC. It examines impacts on rate of decomposition of burning, as this is likely to increase the inert fraction and impact rate of decomposition. Field sites were established in a Scottish heathland and a Tasmanian buttongrass moorland, both sites being managed by regular burning. Surface samples were taken from plots burned at varying times in the past, and labile fractions were measured by fractionating with hot water and sulphuric acid. There was a greater amount of labile-carbon extracted in plots not recently burnt at both sites, suggesting labile-carbon was either lost or converted to recalcitrant-carbon by fire. The fractions obtained were compared to RothC pools derived by an equilibrium-run, the usual model initialisation approach. There was a larger proportion of labile-carbon measured than predicted by the model, suggesting the equilibrium-run is overestimating inert carbon. Attempts were made to isolate inert carbon in charcoal using chemical and visual methods, but results from both methods were highly variable, so no direct comparison could be made with model pools. Respiration measurements of incubated samples were used to derive carbon pools by inverse-modelling. Again, results showed more labile-carbon than predicted by the equilibriumrun and less labile-carbon in most recently burned treatments. Inverse-modelling shows great promise to provide more accurate model initialisation, so a MicroResp approach was developed as a rapid alternative to gas chromatography and verified using known additions of charcoal. Addition of 1% charcoal lowered respiration rates, whereas 5% and 10% increased them, suggesting the presence of labile carbon in charcoal. Future work should quantify the labile carbon in charcoal and further develop the promising MicroResp approach.

▼ Geologic carbon sequestration (GCS), the permanent storage of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂) into deep underground rock formations, has been identified as a key climate change mitigation strategy. However, due to differences in viscosity and density between the injected CO₂ and resident formation brine, CO₂ suffers from significant viscous fingering and gravitational instability. This leads to poor storage capacity and security. The work presented in this thesis shows how certain surface treated silica nanoparticles can work to address these key issues and improve today's GCS technology. Corefloods were performed in a Boise sandstone core with liquid CO₂ and brine or nanoparticle dispersion. CO₂ storage efficiency was achieved through primary drainage and residual (capillary) trapping was achieved after a subsequent brine postflush. Through meticulous measurements in pressure drop, mass balance and CT scanning, it was determined that primary drainage in the presence of surface treated nanoparticles results in significant improvements in CO₂ sweep efficiency and storage capacity through two main mechanisms: 1) the viscosification of CO₂ by the generation of nanoparticle stabilized CO₂-in-brine emulsion during pore scale Roof snap-off events, and 2) the reduction of CO₂ relative permeability through blockage of flow paths by the same nanoparticle stabilized CO₂ droplets. Furthermore, the improvements in CO₂ sweep efficiency resulted in higher levels of CO₂ residual trapping. The improvements in displacement dynamics were highly correlated to nanoparticle concentrations. Low concentrations (0.5 wt%) were shown to reduce viscous fingers and increase CO₂ saturations. At even higher concentrations (5.0wt%), the CO₂-brine displacement was fully stabilized into a shock front; initial CO₂ storage improved by a factor of 2.3 compared to the control while residual trapping increased threefold. Due to the large pore volumes of CO₂ injection sites, experiments were conducted with partial nanoparticle saturations as a method to optimize CO₂ storage while minimizing volume of nanoparticles utilized. It was demonstrated that the same CO₂ storage efficiency and residual trapping values were achieved by using 40% less nanoparticles than fully saturating the core prior to CO₂ injection, suggesting that nanoparticle stabilized CO₂-in-brine emulsions can be formed during Roof snap-off events outside the main CO₂ displacement front. This has significant implications on the economic feasibility for enhanced geologic carbon sequestration. Finally, in a second application of nanoparticles for GCS, the experiments were performed vertically to replicate the scenario of CO₂ leakage. Nanoparticles increased the breakthrough time even during low flow rates where displacements were dominated by buoyancy and capillary heterogeneity. From the experiments tested, nanoparticles should be considered a method to reduce the speed of CO₂ leakage, rather than preventing it completely.

▼ Carbon sequestration in geologic reservoirs is a proven method for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Deltaic deposits are attractive candidates for CO₂ storage projects due to their prominent role as hydrocarbon reservoirs. This research informs subsurface deltaic reservoir characterization and performance for carbon sequestration through integration of geocellular modeling, outcrop analyses, and seismic mapping of prospective offshore CO₂ reservoirs. Results emphasize the importance of recognizing sequence stratigraphic architectures for predicting CO₂ migration. Initially, a model of a deltaic system was generated from a prior laboratory flume deposit to better understand fundamental (but generalized) aspects of reservoir and seal performance. This model was scaled and assigned geologic properties, generating a novel and extremely high-resolution geologic model. Physical architectures represented in the geologic model are consistent with global examples of deltaic reservoirs as well as the facies, stratal stacking pattern, and grain size variability in outcrops studied in this research. Twenty CO₂ injection simulations were run on the geologic model to understand the relationship between reservoir heterogeneity and fluid migration. Baffles affecting migration are identified as the shale layers between sand clinoforms and regressive surfaces in the highstand-lowstand systems tracts. Primary trapping surfaces influencing CO₂ migration are the regressive surfaces in the transgressive systems tract (TST), where migration pathways converge along common surfaces. These sequence stratigraphic observations are then applied to reservoir characterization in 3D seismic data from offshore Gulf of Mexico. The regional, sequence stratigraphic surfaces are well represented in sub-surface data. Hydrocarbon production data indicate fluid accumulation in TST stratigraphy, similar to the geologic modeling results, suggesting some predictability of fluid flow in deltaic settings. The novel integration of datatypes produces enhanced understanding of subsurface fluid flow in deltaic environments. Advisors/Committee Members: Meckel, Timothy Ashworth (advisor).

▼ The effects of chemical interaction between injected CO2, brine, and formation rocks are often ignored in sequestration studies because chemical reactions are assumed to be localized to carbonate rocks that make up only a small proportion of the potential reservoirs. It is conjectured in this work that long-term exposure of certain types of clays and cement material to CO2-brine mixtures can induce chemical reactions and subsequent alteration of rock properties that can be subsequently detected in time-lapse seismic surveys. This is demonstrated using a case-study structured after the Cranfield field injection site. Geochemical alterations of the reservoir rock are quantified by performing reactive transport simulations and subsequently using rock physics models to translate the altered petrophysical properties into seismic responses. The study quantifies the long-term geochemical effects of CO2 injection on the seismic response and conversely, presents an approach to invert the reservoir regions contacted by the CO2-saturated brine based on the observed seismic response. Time lapse or passive seismic monitoring is an effective method for mapping the progress of the CO2 plume through the subsurface. But, because of the lack of resolution of the seismic information, it is necessary to use the seismic information together with prior geologic knowledge about the surface in order to identify if there is any migration of CO2 into regions that might be deemed sensitive e.g. overlying aquifers or faults. Because of uncertainties in the prior geologic description of the reservoir, the feasibility of implementing a model selection process is explored in this work. The model selection procedure utilizes the observed well data and reference seismic map to select a subset of models. The flow simulation of CO2 injection and forward seismic modeling were repeated for the newly generated reservoir models, and the seismic responses were compared for the reaction and non-reaction cases. The study showed that the effects of geochemical reactions on petrophysical properties and resultant spatial distribution of fluid saturation were visible in the seismic response. Major differences in seismic responses were detected in regions of the reservoir where significant amount of minerals were dissolved and precipitated. These regions were at the top of the reservoir due to the reactions caused by the buoyant CO2 plume. The presence of carbonate facies, even in small proportion, plays an important role in geochemical reactions and their effect is manifested at the seismic scale. The unique model selection methodology presented in this thesis is efficient at detecting the important features in the seismic and injection response that is induced by the geochemical alterations occurring in the reservoir. The results of this time-lapse study can provide new interpretation of events observed in time-lapse seismic data that might lead to a better assessment of leakage pathways and other risks.

▼ Biochar is a carbon dense solid that is produced via the pyrolysis of organic materials forapplication to soil. Organic carbon structures, such as those found in animal manures orwood, are modified by exposure to elevated temperatures in an oxygen-limitedenvironment. This processing causes a loss of mass through a preferential loss of hydrogenalong with a loss of volatile carbon molecules. The carbon remaining in the solid formsstable, conjugated aromatic structures, which are more recalcitrant to degradation in thenatural environment than the pre-processed feedstock material. The surface area of thebiochar material is also greatly increased compared to the feedstock, especially at the microporescale. The mineral ash content of the original organic materials is preserved in thebiochar, increasing in concentration with the loss of volatile components of the feedstock.Biochar production and use offers many opportunities for enhancing soil properties andsequestering carbon. The evidence to support the application of biochar as a soilamendment to enhance crop productivity is growing. Its potential as a carbon reservoir, ableto sequester carbon in soils, and hence reduce atmospheric concentrations of greenhousegases is a relatively new area of scientific investigation, on which lies significant sociopoliticalinterest due to the agenda to find cost effective climate change solutions.This thesis makes a significant contribution to the field of biochar production and use indeveloping several aspects of its physical characterization, environmental sustainability,risks, and opportunities. The investigation builds the evidence and methods required tounderstand the potential contribution biochar can make to atmospheric greenhouse gasreduction and agricultural sustainability.Key findings include a comprehensive review of the physical characteristics of biochars andhow they are influenced by processing conditions and feedstocks choice. Also, the discoveryand investigation of Terra Preta Australis sites, which provide an Australian analogy to theTerra Preta de Indio soils, that provide a case study demonstrating the long-term impact onsoil properties and potential for carbon sequestration in that environment. Other majoroutcomes from the work include the development of risk assessment and greenhouse gasaccounting methodologies that can be applied to biochar production and use. Extensivecollaborative work has been included, particularly concerning the agronomic assessment ofa number of biochars derived from commercially relevant feedstocks.
