Feasibility study into Quantum Technology-based Gravity Sensing for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage
This study was carried out jointly by the University of Birmingham and the British Geological Survey. The report addresses the feasibility of using novel quantum-technology-based gravity sensors to monitor underground CO2 storage. Of particular interest is the applicability to upcoming near-surface leak monitoring trials that the British Geological Survey will be conducting at its test site.

Data Quality
This was a paper study which involved a survey of the existing literature on this topic, along with modelling of gravity signals which might arise from underground fluid motion. The modelling calculations used known theoretical expressions relating surface gravity to underground density variations and explored a range of assumptions about the effects of CO2 in displacing groundwater near the ground surface.
