Detection Thresholds and Sensitivities of Geophysical Techniques for CO2 Plume Monitoring

This report assesses capabilities and limitations of different geophysical techniques for monitoring geologic sequestration of CO 2 . Seismic, gravity, electrical, and electromagnetic (EM) techniques are considered. Monitoring approaches for site characterization prior to CO 2 injection are different from those used while injecting CO 2 , or those suitable for post-injection monitoring. The focus of this study is on the aspects relevant to long-term monitoring of large areas in the post-injection phase, and specifically on early detection of secondary CO 2 plumes.

Applications of seismic threshold monitoring at an Antarctic glacier [Slides]

Geophysical waveforms collected from Arctic regions provides data required for monitoring global security targets. Some seismic instruments deployed on Scandinavian and Greenlandic sites provide waveform data, but these installations include specific challenges: Sea ice and glacial ice generates waveform interference; Meltwater generates narrowband interference, resembling tonal noise.

Discriminator Threshold Study for Scint 1

During electronics testing at NSRL, the fluence/spill is recorded from the QC1 chamber. This chamber, which is a permanent fixture on the NSRL beamline, requires calibration from an external radiation detector that can measure ion flux directly. A 1.0 × 1.0 × 0.5 cm 3 scintillator is used at the testing location to calibrate all NSRL beams for electronic experiments. A calibration factor is derived by comparing the ions observed by the scintillator and QC1 during an exposure of at least 10 5 scintillator counts or total ions.
