Rock mechanics and geophysics are intertwined due to elastic waves being mechanical disturbances propagating through a material, whereas determination of the elastic properties is the alpha and omega in the field of rock ...

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) by geological sequestration comprises a permeable formation (reservoir) for CO2 storage topped by an impermeable formation (caprock). Time-lapse (4D) seismic is used to map CO2 movement in ...
