A numerical study, based on a density-dependent variably saturated groundwater flow model, was conducted to investigate flow and salt transport in a near-shore aquifer under intensified wave conditions caused by offshore storms. Temporally varying onshore ...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) geological storage relies on safe, long-term injection of large quantities of CO2 in underground porous rocks. Wells, whether they are the conduit of the pumped fluid or are exposed to CO2 in the storage reservoir (observation and old ...
Significant progress was made these last decades in the development of hydrogeological methods. However, these new methods are still very little used in the problematics of unstable slopes, mainly because of the hydrogeological complexity, which characteri ...
This research proposes a general methodology allowing the delimitation of protection areas for abstracted groundwater against persistent chemical contaminants for the setting up of: (1) remediation programmes in the event of contamination and (2) preventio ...
The concept of CO2 storage relies on the long-term sealing properties of both the geological trap and the wells needed to inject and monitor CO2. Well integrity, a classical topic in the oil and gas industry, is thus critical for the performance of any CO2 ...
Groundwater is essential for human activities and is sometimes referred to as a non-renewable resource in the same way as oil and gas. During the past century, precious groundwater reserves worldwide have been threatened by anthropogenic release of chemica ...
Among the different ways of capturing carbon dioxide in industrial processes, chemical looping process is presented as an improvement in oxy-fuel combustion. Since carbon dioxide is directly generated with water in the process, there is no need of an addit ...
Significant progress has been made these last decades in the development of hydrogeological numerical flow modelling for describing the hydrodynamic behaviour of landslides. However, these new sophisticated methods are still very seldom used in the problem ...
The geochemical typology of natural subsurface waters of the Molasse basin is part of the AQUITYP project, initiated by the Geology Laboratory (GEOLEP) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). This study provides an overview of the ...
Reductive bioremediation is currently being explored as a possible strategy for uranium-contaminated aquifers such as the Old Rifle site (Colorado). The stability of U(IV) phases under oxidizing conditions is key to the performance of this procedure. An in ...
