SUMMARY:Interfaces and mixing in CO2 sequestration - Dr Jerome Neufeld\, B
 P Institute and DAMTP\, University of Cambridge

CONTACT:Helen Mawdsley
DESCRIPTION:The geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep saline 
 aquifers forms an integral part of many climate mitigation strategies.  At
  depth CO2 is buoyant and mobile and may therefore leak into surface water
 s or the atmosphere.  This talk will explore two mechanisms which act to t
 rap CO2 permanently on short to intermediate timescales\; the dissolution 
 and convection of CO2 into the ambient brine\, and the action of capillary
  forces which may halt the advance of sequestered CO2.  Insight will be dr
 awn from laboratory experiments and numerical simulations with application
  to current industrial-scale CO2 sequestration projects.
