Optimising carbon storage by land-management
… recognising the importance of soil organic carbon (SOC), and its need for preservation. To establish if land-management could be optimised to increase carbon storage, ‘The Wallington Carbon Footprint Project’ was implemented. This study aimed to measure the Wallington Estate’s carbon stock, …

Carbon storage and preservation in seagrass meadows
Seagrass meadows are important ‘Blue Carbon’ sinks but many questions remain unaddressed in regards to the organic carbon (OC) sequestration capacity and processes leading to retention and persistence of OC in seagrass sediments. The research summarised in this dissertation examined 37 sediment …

Impacts of Geological Variability on Carbon Storage Potential
… for energy production in the next century. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a group of technologies that would permit the continued use of carbon-intense fuels such as coal for energy production while avoiding further impact on the global climate system. The mechanism most often proposed …

Organic Sulfur-Bearing Species as Subsurface Carbon Storage Vectors
To tackle climate change issues, this study investigates whether residual biomass can be converted to a suitable form for permanent subsurface sequestration. Natural sulfurization processes in sedimentary organic matter are investigated as mechanisms to generate biologically refractory …

Assessing an offshore carbon storage opportunity at Chandeleur Sound, Louisiana
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is considered a crucial technology for climate change mitigation. Its primary objective is to reduce CO₂ emissions caused by human activities by capturing gas from large point sources or from direct air capture and injecting it into deep geologic formations. This …

Carbon storage in grasslands : the impact of atmospheric nitrogen pollution
… chemical and biological processes involved in carbon cycling and storage in soil. This is especially significant as soil carbon storage is an essential form of climate change mitigation. However, there is a lot of uncertainty regarding the impact of nitrogen accumulation on terrestrial carbon …

Regenerative agriculture and soil carbon storage in the Upper Corn Belt
… erosion have depleted global soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in the top two meters of soil by an estimated 133 petagrams (Pg), resulting in a significant SOC debt. Regenerative cropping practices, such as no-till and cover cropping, are recognized for their potential to enhance soil …

Carbon storage during the regrowth and conversion of Virginia Piedmont forests
Recent increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide caused by the combustion of fossil fuels and tropical deforestation may result in global warming. Carbon accumulation by regrowing temperate forests, in regions such as the southeastern United States, may have been extensive enough to counterbalance …

Fluid-rock interactions in a carbon storage site analogue, Green River, Utah
… minerals might either enhance the long-term storage of CO2 in geological reservoirs or facilitate leakage by corroding cap rocks and fault seals. Modelling the progress of such reactions is frustrated by uncertainties in the absolute mineral surface reaction rates and the significance of …

Carbon Storage in Old-Growth Western Larch (Larix occidentalis) Forests of Western Montana
… the literature, few studies focus on long-term carbon (C) storage associated with interior old-growth. This limited understanding of the C storage capacity and patterns in old-growth forests of western Montana leaves little ability to evaluate the role of old-growth forests in ecosystem level C …

Fire-driven changes to tree drought vulnerability and carbon storage in temperate broadleaf forests
… for large-scale impacts on forest ecosystems and carbon cycling. The sensitivity of forests to these changes will require an understanding of tree vulnerability to both drought and fire, yet their interaction is rarely considered. This dissertation explores the vegetation-mediated effects of fire …

Evaluating subalpine lake delta carbon storage in the Colorado Front Range and Washington Central Cascades
… contributors to the terrestrial organic carbon (OC) sink that affect global climate through the regulation of carbon-based greenhouse gases. However, mountain OC dynamics are poorly quantified. I sought to explore OC storage in subalpine lake deltas in the Washington Central Cascades and …

Effect of mass wasting on soil organic carbon storage and coastal erosion in permafrost environments
… by permafrost store high amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC). Permafrost disturbances may contribute to increased release of carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere. Coastal erosion, amplified through a decrease in Arctic sea-ice extent, may also mobilise SOC from permafrost. Large expanses …

Environmental change and soil organic carbon storage in a dust emission hotspot, Free State, South Africa
… management strategies suitable for enhancing the storage of soil organic carbon and associated ecosystem services. To investigate how the shift in land cover or land use affects the occurrence of dust from 2006- 2016, the study firstly identified the spatial and temporal changes of land cover (LC) …

Monitoring CO2 Plume Migration for a Carbon Storage-Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery Test in Central Appalachia
During the past decade, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) has gained considerable recognition as a viable option to mitigate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This process involves capturing CO2 at emission sources such as power plants, refineries, and processing plants, and safely and …
