Abstract: Carbon capture, utilization and storage encompasses technologies to capture carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the atmosphere or from industrial emission sites, and to subsequent recycle the captured CO 2 for exploring or determining safe and permanent storage options (Pacala & Socolow, 2004). A relatively mature option is injecting nearly pure CO 2 streams into geologic formations for long-term storage (Pires et al., 2011) which has demonstrated its effectiveness in a range of injection projects worldwide, including… Show more

SUMMARY Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) enables high-density sampling of seismic wavefields at low cost compared to conventional geophones. This capability facilitates structural detection of a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill, which is important for protecting the surrounding ecosystem. However, processing the vast amount of data from DAS array for ambient noise imaging can be computationally intensive. To address this, we employed the common-midpoint two-station (CMP-TS) analysis to enhance the efficiency of ambient noise imaging in the MSW landfill. CMP-TS analysis involves selecting pairs of traces at equal distances on both sides with the subarray midpoint as symmetry, which reduces the number of DAS array recordings for cross-correlation calculations. After positioning the DAS arrays linearly on top of the MSW landfill to automatically collect ambient noise, we used the CMP-TS analysis in the cross-correlation calculations to speed up the measurement of dispersion. The S-wave velocity structure of the study region was obtained quickly by inverting the extracted dispersion curves using the gradient optimization method. Ambient noise imaging based on CMP-TS analysis with DAS was applied to a test of an area-type MSW landfill. The resulting S-wave velocity section revealed a discontinuous low-velocity zone, validated by the high-density resistivity method. This low-velocity zone was interpreted as containing leachate from waste decomposition, and its discontinuity may be caused by excessive differences in the waste residues settling rates under compaction. Employing CMP-TS analysis in ambient noise data collected by DAS offers more cost-effective monitoring and a reliable basis for environmental pollution prevention and control.

From 23 November 2022 to 30 November 2022, a sequence of earthquakes with a peak magnitude of ML 5.6 occurred ∼46 km away from Peace River—a vibrant rural community in Alberta, Canada. Broadly felt by residents throughout central Alberta, the ML 5.6 earthquake on 30 November 2022, registers as the second-largest earthquake ever reported in the Western Canada Sedimentary basin and possibly the largest Canadian earthquake induced by human activities. On 6 December 2022, 1 week after the mainshock, the University of Alberta and Alberta Geological Survey jointly installed a circular array of nodal geophones surrounding the seismogenic zone. Over the next 4 months, this quick-response array (nicknamed “Peace River Induced Seismic Monitoring” array, for short PRISM) operated at temperatures as low as −30°C and substantially bolstered the seismic data coverage in this previously undersampled region. Our preliminary array data analysis has detected more than 2000 earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from −1.9 to 5.0 since the initial outbreak in late 2022. Investigations based on earthquake location, focal mechanism, and magnitude jointly reveal distinct earthquake clusters distributed along pre-existing faults from earlier tectonic events. The data recovered from this array offer unique and vital constraints on the tectonic histories and seismic risks of the Peace River region.
