Request a sales quoteGeophysical Monitoring as A Means to Carbon Capture and Storage and the Energy Transition involves four sections: What is the Energy Transition and why storage so important; selecting sites for storage; advanced monitoring technology; and moving forward to integrating Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) within the Energy Transition. To provide the public and others with the confidence to move forward with a structured and cost-effective energy transition, this book provides the necessary evidence that we can store CO2 safely and effectively and use this as a significant component of the energy transition.
The book is written by experts in the field who have practiced the science and engineering associated with subsurface CCS for years. CCS is an integral component of the new energy transition. Science, engineering, and technology applications are important for site selection, characterization, and monitoring to assure safe storage in the subsurface and energy sustainability in the future.
- Presents an overview of available technology, along with specific applications and scenarios in which to use the technology
- Features case studies to provide practical applications for geoscientists and engineers in the energy industry
- Includes an overview of the history of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to provide context for energy transition
Energy industry, graduate students and researchers from geophysics, geology and petroleum engineering

Malcolm Wilson
Malcolm was the Director of the Office of Energy and Environment at the University of Regina from 2000 - 2010, prior to which he worked for Saskatchewan Energy and Mines for twenty years. He was instrumental in the creation of the IEAGHG Weyburn-Midale CO2 Monitoring and Storage Project, a world recognised CO2 storage research project, including editing the final report of phase one. In the fall of 2012, another PTRC project was responsible for an historic event, the drilling of the deepest well in Saskatchewan’s history: 3396 metres. Malcolm was a member of Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the scientific team awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize jointly with Al Gore, and for which Malcolm was a lead author on the IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage. He also founded the Prairie Adaptation Research Collaborative (PARC), serving as its first head.
In 2009, Malcolm was awarded the University of Saskatchewan Alumni Award of Achievement for outstanding contributions to profession, community and the University of Saskatchewan. In the same year, Saskatchewan Business Magazine named him one of Saskatchewan's ten most influential men. In 2013 he was recognised as one of five influential people in the Province’s oil industry. He was the joint winner of the 2006 Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Synergy Award for his work with ITC.
Malcolm has numerous publications to his credit, including co-editing the book Geophysics and Geosequestration (Cambridge University Press).
