Abstract

The purpose of this project was to identify groundwater quality impacts resulting from migration of CO2 from geologic carbon sequestration projects, and consider impacts of physical and chemical changes associated will varying levels of contaminant migration or displacement associated with underground storage and sequestration of CO2.
