Abstract
This report provides background information about the Ginninderra controlled release Experiment 3 including a description of the environmental and weather conditions during the experiment, the groundwater levels and a brief description of all the monitoring techniques that were trialled during the experiment. The Ginninderra controlled release facility is designed to simulate CO2 leakage through a fault, with CO2 released from a horizontal well 2 m underground. Two previous subsurface CO2 release experiments have been conducted at this facility in early and late 2012, which have helped guide and develop the techniques that have been applied herein. The aim of the third Ginninderra controlled release experiment was to further the development of detection and quantification techniques, and investigate seasonal effects on gas migration. Particular focus was given to plant health as a diagnostic detection method, via physical, biochemical and hyperspectral changes in plant biomass in response to elevated CO2 in the shallow root zone. Release of CO2 began 8 October 2013 at 4:45 PM and stopped 17 December 2013 at 5:35 PM. The CO2 release rate during Experiment 3 was 144 kg/d CO2. Several monitoring and assessment techniques were trialled for their effectiveness to quantify and qualify the CO2 that was released. The methods are described in this report and include: - soil gas - eddy covariance - mobile surveys - Line CO2 concentrations - groundwater levels and chemistry - plant biochemistry - airborne hyperspectral - soil flux - electromagnetic (EM-31 and EM-38) - meteorology This report is a reference guide to describe the Ginninderra Experiment 3 details. Only methods are described in this report, with the results of the experiment published in conference papers and journal articles.
