Abstract
The Australian Government, through Geoscience Australia, is tailoring its national seabed mapping program to support the implementation of policies aimed at delivering improved clean energy options for the nation. The current focus is upon the assessment of offshore sedimentary basins as potential sites for the geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2). These assessments include targeted seabed research that aims to reduce uncertainty around the risks of CO2 storage by developing an integrated understanding of the physical connectivity between the deeper basin structures, the shallow (<100 m) sub-surface and seabed environments. This paper presents an overview of the science strategy developed to undertake this work in the Australian context, with reference to case studies.
