Abstract:
This study investigates the transport of explosive byproduct gases through sorptive geologic media, with important implications for nuclear test monitoring. We demonstrate how sorption processes significantly affect the transport and timing of gas arrival at the surface, which is critical for distinguishing between nuclear and chemical explosions.
