ESD at AGU: A Zone of Constant Activity

January 8, 2013

The AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco last month (December 2012) was a great success, especially for LBNL’s Earth Sciences Division and our homebase at the site, the ESD booth—a zone of constant activity.

Effect of dissolved CO2 on a shallow groundwater system: A controlled release experiment

January 1, 2013

Sequestering CO2 underground has its own set of environmental risks, including the potential migration of CO2 out of the storage reservoir and resulting acidification and release of trace constituents in shallow groundwater.

Probabilistic analysis of fracture reactivation associated with deep underground CO2 injection

January 1, 2013

ESD Jonny Rutqvist recently collaborated with Korean scientists Jaewon Lee and Ki-Bok Min in conducting coupled multiphase fluid flow and geomechanical modeling to investigate how deep underground injection of CO2 induces geomechanical changes within and around the injection zone.

Was There Life on Mars? Crater Clues

December 4, 2012

ESD scientist Bill Dietrich explores the possibility of past life on Mars, noting that debris flows on Earth are able to carry boulders—as well as logs, cars, and even buildings—for very long distances. Martian gullies also culminate in lobe-like fans of eroded material, which are characteristic of debris-flow gullies on Earth.
