DESCRIPTION:Geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep saline aqui
 fers forms an integral part of many CO2 mitigation strategies.  At depth C
 O2 is buoyant and therefore may leak into surface waters or the atmosphere
 .  This talk will explore the rich multiphase fluid dynamics of CO2 propag
 ation\, providing constraints on the rate at which CO2 may leak from a sto
 rage site\, and the dynamics of convective dissolution and capillary trapp
 ing\, two leading processes by which CO2 may be stably trapped and stored 
 within the subsurface.\n\nM. Bickle\, A. Chadwick\, H. Huppert\, M. Hallwo
