Microseismic Monitoring and Geomechanical Modelling of CO2 Storage in Subsurface Reservoirs
This thesis presents an impressive summary of the potential to use passive seismic methods to monitor the sequestration of anthropogenic CO2 in geologic reservoirs. It brings together innovative research in two distinct areas – seismology and geomechanics – and involves both data analysis and numeri...
