At depth CO2 is buoyant and therefore may leak into surface waters or the atmosphere. This talk will explore the rich multiphase fluid dynamics of CO2 propagation, providing constraints on the rate at which CO2 may leak from a storage site, and the dynamics of convective dissolution and capillary trapping, two leading processes by which CO2 may be stably trapped and stored within the subsurface.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>About the Speaker<br></span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Dr. Jerome Neufeld is a Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge’s Institute of Theoretical Geophysics and the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.</span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Dr. Neufeld’s research focuses on the coupling of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics in multiphase systems within geophysical settings using analytical, numerical and experimental techniques.
