Seabed mapping to support geological storage of carbon dioxide in offshore Australia.

Brief description

The geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) has the potential to provide future clean energy solutions. Geoscience Australia has demonstrated how its national seabed mapping programme can be successfully applied in assessing containment integrity in offshore basins. \r\n\r\nThese assessments include targeted seabed research that aims to reduce uncertainty around the risks of CO2 storage by developing an integrated understanding of the physical relationships between the deeper basin structures, the shallow (<100 m) sub-surface and seabed environments. This paper presents an overview of the science strategy developed to undertake this work in the Australian context, with reference to case studies.\r\n\r\nThis dataset record is provided by Parks Australia to highlight research conducted within or relevant to Australian Marine Parks. The original publication and associated intellectual property remain with the source organisation.\r\n\r\nThis publication was previously made available via the Australian Marine Parks Science Atlas and is provided here to maintain access following the decommissioning of that platform.
