Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge technologies and methods for the monitoring of gas hydrate and CO2 capture and storage (CCUS) in marine sediments. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a crucial strategy for achieving carbon neutralization, with the storage of CO2 in sediments being a primary focus. However, it is essential to accurately detect the location of CO2 deposits and identify potential leakage to ensure the effectiveness and safety of CCUS.
This Special Issue will showcase the latest research in this field, highlighting advancements in monitoring technologies and methods. We welcome contributions in the form of review articles, original research papers, and comments. Researchers are encouraged to present novel approaches, innovative technologies, and case studies related to the monitoring of gas hydrate and CO2 storage in marine sediments.
Key topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Development of new monitoring techniques for gas hydrate and CO2 storage;
- Case studies on successful monitoring gas hydrate and CO2 practices in marine sediments;
- Application of advanced rock physics models in detecting and characterizing plumes;
- Integration of data analysis and modeling techniques for improved detection accuracy of gas hydrate and CO2 storage;
- Evaluation of environmental impacts of gas hydrate and CO2 storage operations;
- Assessment of long-term stability and integrity of stored CO2 in marine sediments.
This Special Issue aims to foster discussions and collaborations among researchers, engineers, and practitioners working on gas hydrate and CO2 monitoring in marine environments. It will contribute to the advancement of monitoring strategies, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and safety of CCUS operations in marine sediments.
