Plant models for abiotic stress resistance and compost maturity assessment
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2020-12)Abiotic stress like drought strongly affects plant growth and development which can lead to crop productivity loses. Compost derived material can be used as soil improver or in growing media mixtures. The addition of ... -
Dynamics of dissolved organic matter composition in Scottish rivers and headwater streams – resolving environmental and biogeochemical process interactions
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2021-10)Dissolved organic matter (DOM) has a wide range of chemical structures that give it a multifunctional role in the natural environment. Although the role of DOM in aquatic ecosystems has been the focus of previous work, ... -
Improved oil recovery by miscible/near miscible CO2 gas injection : experimental and simulation approaches
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2022-01)Miscible gas flooding has recently overtaken to be the most successful enhanced oil recovery technique. Carbon dioxide flooding is an integral part of miscible gas flooding. This thesis focuses on the feasibility of the ... -
On the integration of calcite scale management and operational optimisation of CCUS in Pre-salt carbonate reservoirs
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2021-07)In this thesis, we describe a simulation-based reactive transport workflow to optimise Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) in carbonate reservoirs. Although CCUS may play a crucial role in reducing greenhouse ... -
Spatial and temporal controls on the development and evolution of the Tanzanian continental margin
(Heriot-Watt University Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, 2017-02)The East African seaboard has historically been considered to be a passive continental margin formed following rifting and continental break-up in the Middle Jurassic. Whilst much of the margin conforms to the standard ...
