QICS Paper: Impact and recovery of pH in marine sediments subject to a temporary carbon dioxide leak

A possible effect of a carbon dioxide leak from an industrial sub-sea floor storage facility, utilised for Carbon Capture and Storage, is that escaping carbon dioxide gas will dissolve in sediment...

QICS Paper: Dynamics of rising CO2 bubble plumes in the QICS field experiment: Part 1 – The experiment

The dynamic characteristics of CO2 bubbles in Scottish seawater are investigated through observational data obtained from the QICS project. Images of the leaked CO2 bubble plume rising in the...

Map based index (GeoIndex) rock samples

The map shows the localities where samples that form part of the BGS rock collections have been taken. Many of these samples are from surface exposure, and were collected by BGS geologists during...

EBSD, AMS and AARM data from Whin Sill rock samples

This dataset consists of EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction), AMS (anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility) and AARM (anhysteretic anisotropy of remanent magnetisation) files, and magnetic...

Scottish Carbon Capture & Storage (SCCS) Working Paper 2013-04: Briefing: CCS for Industrial Sources of CO2 in Europe

Technical briefing report, August 2013. This briefing summarises the most recent published report addressing the scope for CCS in European industry (ZEP, 2013), adds further information from public...

QICS Paper: A novel sub-seabed CO2 release experiment informing monitoring and impact assessment for geological carbon storage

Carbon capture and storage is a mitigation strategy that can be used to aid the reduction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. This process aims to capture CO2 from large point-source emitters and...

QICS Paper: Review and implications of relative permeability of CO2/brine systems and residual trapping of CO2

The adoption of carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a method of mitigating anthropogenic CO2 emissions will depend on the ability of initial geological storage projects to demonstrate secure...

Core description, core samples and thin sections of Lower Carboniferous dolomite. Thesis : Reservoir Properties of Lower Carboniferous Limestone of the Derbyshire East Midlands Platform by Jack...

Scottish Carbon Capture & Storage (SCCS) Working Paper 2009-04: Investigating the prospects for Carbon Capture and Storage technology in India

Technical report (2009) commissioned by Christian Aid and written by researchers from the University of Edinburgh and the University of Surrey. It aims to explore the prospects for carbon capture...

Scottish Carbon Capture & Storage (SCCS) Working Paper 2016-01: Scottish CO2 Hub - A unique opportunity for the United Kingdom

Technical report, January 2016. Development of a Scottish CO2 Hub can unlock the potential for CCS in the UK and Europe by providing early access for CO2 captured in the North Sea Region to...

Data for the H2O concentration in glass particles produced during the 2011-2012 Cordon Caulle eruption.

These are data pertaining to Wadsworth et al. (2022) which are published here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2022.107672. How: Samples were set in epoxy and ground to the point where half of...
