Numerical modelling of erosional landforms driven by offshore groundwater flow on siliciclastic continental margins: a conceptual approach by Shubhangi Gupta, Shubhangi Gupta, Aaron Micallef

“…Landforms emerge during falling sea-levels, starting as pockmark trains along the edges of the buried channels. Sensitivity studies show that: (1) channel width and depth affect only landform size, not type, and (2) OFG-related landforms are mainly erosion-driven and can evolve into slope failures in coarse-grained sediments with low cohesive strength. …”

Using agent-based modelling to simulate the emission reduction potential of CCUS technologies in China under alternative policy packages by Changgen Dong, Zhuoluo Sun, Jingjing Jiang, Yang Yang

“…The difference comes in the scaled-up threshold time point and the growth trend. Sensitivity analyses show that the carbon price affects changes in the emission reduction potential of CCUS technologies the most, while the impact of subsidies, rates of technological progress and oil prices were not significant. …”
