Investigating the Characterization of Pore Size Distribution and Permeability, Capillary Water Absorption in Porous Media Based on Entropy Theory

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The performance of porous media, such as capillary water migration and permeability, is significantly influenced by the complexity of the pore structure. The pore complexity can be characterized by the fractal dimension of the pore structure (D f ${D}_{f}$) and the fractal dimension of pore tortuosity (D T ${D}_{T}$).

Impact of recent climate variability on an aquifer system in north Belgium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The last decade it has been realised that climate and global change can (and very likely will affect) groundwater reserves. This will have impact on both the economical (groundwater exploitation) and ecological (ecosystems) aspects of aquifer systems.

Global importance of Amazonian freshwaters

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Amazonian freshwaters have large influences on regional and global climate, harbor remarkable and unique species, and are vital to human society. Nevertheless, as compared to their terrestrial counterparts in the Amazon, these freshwaters have received less attention from the international conservation community.

Carbon Storage in Fold‐and‐Thrust Belts: An Overlooked Gigatonne Storage Opportunity

open access: yesGreenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents numerical investigations of the trapping characteristics of fold‐and‐thrust belt structures, defining three carbon capture and storage (CCS) play types that could be used to store commercial volumes (millions of tonnes) of CO2.
