Abstract Chlorite, an Fe-and Mg-rich aluminosilicate clay, may be either detrital or authigenic
in sandstones. Detrital chlorite includes mineral grains, components of lithic grain, matrix …

The feldspar group is one of the most common types of minerals in the earth's crust.
Feldspar alteration (including the whole processes of feldspar dissolution, transfer of …

CO2 storage in saline aquifers offers a realistic means of achieving globally significant
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions at the scale of billions of tonnes per year. We …

The adoption of carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a method of mitigating anthropogenic
CO 2 emissions will depend on the ability of initial geological storage projects to …

Modelling the progress of geochemical processes in CO 2 storage sites is frustrated by
uncertainties in the rates of CO 2 flow and dissolution, and in the rates and controlling …

Long term containment of stored CO2 in deep geological reservoirs will depend on the
performance of the caprock to prevent the buoyant CO2 from escaping to shallow drinking …

Due to the corrosive nature of dissolved CO 2, the potential short or long term alteration of
rock properties, represents a major issue in several sites where natural CO 2 circulation is …

Developing a method for secure sequestration of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in
geological formations is one of our most pressing global scientific problems. Injection into …

Identification of the source of CO2 in natural reservoirs and development of physical models
to account for the migration and interaction of this CO2 with the groundwater is essential for …

A clear and detailed understanding of gas migration mechanisms from depth to ground
surface is fundamental to choose the best locations for CO2 geological storage sites, to …
