CO2Bio: A new TOUGHREACT module to simulate geological carbon and hydrogen storage under biotic conditions

BACKGROUND High carbon emissions have quickly become a critical issue in the United States. Oklahoma ranks third in natural gas production and fourth in crude oil production in the U.S. Because of this, an innovation in Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) could become crucial in reducing emissions near depleted oil reservoirs in Oklahoma....

INTegrated ACoustic Toolkit (INTACT)

BACKGROUND Historically, acoustic emissions (AE) have been used to determine critical failures in infrastructure such as cracks or faults. The frequency sent through the structure changes as faults occur in the structure due to cyclical stress. This allows sensors to register the change in frequency and categorize the change in a data log. Other sensors...

Geospatial Logistics and Agricultural Decision Integration System (GLADIS)

BACKGROUND Eastern Redcedar is an invasive tree that is economically and ecologically damaging to the state of Oklahoma. For this raw material, and others like it, there is limited entrepreneurial interest for the utilization of this natural resource. This is often due to the lack of data regarding the true cost of the processes required for successful...
