DESCRIPTION:Permanent storage of carbon dioxide within sub-surface geologi
 cal reservoirs is a key component of the greenhouse gas emission reduction
  strategy. The biggest and most easily available reservoirs occur within b
 uried sedimentary rocks and consist of either depleted hydrocarbon fields 
 or pristine saline aquifers. At present\, the longest running and best mon
 itored test site is the Sleipner carbon capture and storage project\, loca
 ted in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. At this offshore site\, abou
 t one million tons of liquid carbon dioxide has been injected every year s
 ince 1996 into a sandstone layer at a depth of about one kilometre beneath
  the seabed. Regular seismic surveys are carried out with a view to imagin
 g the migration of carbon dioxide as it displaces brine fluid within the p
 ore spaces of sandstone rock. In this lecture\, I will describe the backgr
 ound of this project and summarize the multi-disciplinary research that ha
 s been carried out with colleagues at Cambridge.
