Evaluation of Coal Seam Gas Drainability for Outburst-Prone and High-CO2-Containing Coal Seam by Lei Zhang, Ting Ren, Naj Aziz, Cun Zhang

“…This paper presents the results of an evaluation study of gas drainability in the Bulli seam in the Southern Coalfield of the Sydney Basin, NSW, Australia, where the coal seam gas (CSG) contains a high proportion of carbon dioxide (CO2). Historically the gas drainability in some particular areas of this coal seam was found to be particularly poor, which posed a significant challenge to gas predrainage. …”

Interactive effects of salinity, redox, and colloids on greenhouse gas production and carbon mobility in coastal wetland soils. by Nicholas D Ward, Madison Bowe, Katherine A Muller, Xingyuan Chen, Qian Zhao, Rosalie Chu, Zezhen Cheng, Thomas W Wietsma, Ravi K Kukkadapu

“…Coastal wetlands, including freshwater systems near large lakes, rapidly bury carbon, but less is known about how they transport carbon either to marine and lake environments or to the atmosphere as greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide and methane. This study examines how GHG production and organic matter (OM) mobility in coastal wetland soils vary with the availability of oxygen and other terminal electron acceptors. …”
