Geoscience Australia in collaboration with the CO2CRC hosted three controlled subsurface release experiments of CO2 during 2012 to 2013 at an agricultural research station managed by CSIRO Plant Industry Canberra. The facility was designed to simulate surface emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases from the soil into the atmosphere, and has deployed a range of near-surface monitoring techniques in the pursuit of improving detection and quantification methods and technologies. This product, which encompasses 4 geodatabases, a metadata report and a data dictionary, presents all the data collected during the experiments from over 10 research organisations, and is made to use with GIS software. The intention of this data release is make the data available for comparison with measurements taken at other controlled release experiments, CO2 storage projects and natural analogues. This will hopefully facilitate the further development of greenhouse gas monitoring technologies, methods and monitoring strategies and increase our understanding of the migration behaviour and impact of near surface CO2 leakage. The contents of each geodatabase/experiment is summarised below: Release 1 (Feb-May 2012):
- Soil microbial data - Soil chemistry - Free air CO2 concentration - Eddy covariance - Groundwater chemistry - Soil gas - Krypton tracers - EM31 - Soil flux Release 2 (Oct-Dec 2012): - Groundwater chemistry - EM31 - EM38 - Soil gas - Soil flux - Airborne hyperspectral - Ground hyperspectral Release 3 (Oct-Dec 2013): - Mobile CO2 surveys - Groundwater depth - Eddy covariance - Plant physiology and chemistry - EM31 - EM38 - Soil gas - Soil flux - Airborne hyperspectral All Releases: - Aerial images - Groundwater depths - Meteorological data
