Virtual Conference on Climate Change and CO2 Storage
This was a broad-based conference covering all aspects of climate change and CO2 storage research. The presentations were accessible to any researcher interested in learning more about CO2. Technical posters on all aspects of climate change, ocean acidification, CO2 separation, transport or storage were also presented.

Carbon Storage: Integrating Experiments & Modelling to Quantify Trapping Capacity & Efficiency in the Subsurface
This is a fundamental study of trapping of non-wetting fluids in porous media. When injecting CO2 into an aquifer for carbon storage, the non-wetting phase (CO2) is trapped due to capillary for…
