Advances in Multilevel Well Technology
Several detailed field studies performed at research sites in the 1980’s and 1990’s suggest that most contaminant plumes exhibit large variations in concentration over small vertical distances. These variations are caused by spatial variations in the contaminant source zones and heterogeneity of the geologic materials. Conventional monitoring wells have been shown to be ineffective for ...

High sensitivity CO2 monitor for CO2 geological sequestration efficiency monitoring
Canadian prosperity is currently linked to revenue generated from processes that produce large volumes of greenhouse gasses as a by-product. Under evidence that the human fingerprint on our planet is in direct correlation to global climate change, the monitoring and control of greenhouse gas emissions has become a subject of recent focus among many sciences. Recently, legislation has been imposed ...

Monitoring Gas Emissions from Volcanoes to Predict Volcanic Activity
To understand and predict the behaviour of volcanoes an increasing number of scientists are combining geological monitoring and geochemical models. By measuring and monitoring the prevalence of gases like CO2, scientists hope to be able to better predict the likelihood of volcanic eruptions. In 2010 Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupted, releasing 250 million cubic metres of ash ...

Comparison of monitoring programmes of ultimate disposal facilities for radioactive waste and carbon dioxide
Reliable and cost–effective monitoring is an important part of making geological repositories safe, effective, and acceptable for radioactive waste disposal and carbon dioxide (CO2) storage. The major objectives of monitoring should include the evolution of disposal systems compared to the baseline data of the undisturbed site, as well as the validation of the assumptions and results of the ...

Iridium Satellite and SCADA System Communication
Monitoring the performance of a complex utility system requires reliable communication. It may be possible to work with a local wireless network or cellular network for smaller areas. However, these solutions may not provide sufficient coverage for larger systems. For reliable communication and real-time monitoring, many organizations look to the heavens for solutions enabled by satellite ...
