Abstract:

This study links laboratory and field-scale observations of carbon dioxide transport at the Nevada National Security Site, providing critical insights into gas migration following underground explosive tests. The work demonstrates how laboratory-scale measurements can be effectively scaled to predict field-scale transport behavior in complex geologic media.
