Microbiology of basalts targeted for deep geological carbon sequestration : field observations and laboratory experiments

Creator:

Lavalleur, Heather J.

Abstract:

With rising concentrations of CO₂ in the Earth's atmosphere causing concern about climate change, many solutions are being presented to decrease emissions. One of the proposed solutions is to sequester excess CO₂ in geological formations such as basalt. The deep subsurface is known to harbor much of the microbial biomass...
