Seismic datasets acquired around an active fluid flow structure: Scanner Pockmark, North Sea as part of the CHIMNEY project
No full textA multi-channel seismic dataset was acquired during RRS James Cook cruise JC152 (August - September 2017), around the Scanner Pockmark Complex in the North Sea. Data were recorded using a number of different seismic sources, comprising: 1) a GI airgun array, used in two different configurations for separate parts of the survey, i) a 420 ci (2 x 105/105 ci) array operated in harmonic mode and fired at 8 s intervals, and ii) a 300 ci (2 x 45/105 ci) array operated in true GI mode and fired at 6 s intervals, both towed at 2 m depth below sea surface; 2) an Applied Acoustic Engineering Squid sparker (1750 or 2000 J), towed at the sea surface and triggered at 2 s intervals, and; 3) a Duraspark sparker (2000 J), towed at the sea surface and triggered at 2 s intervals. Signals produced by the GI airguns and surface sparkers were recorded on two towed multi-channel streamers: a) a 60 channel, 1 m group interval streamer recorded on a Geometrics Strataview R60 recording system, and b), a 120 channel, 1.56 m group interval GeoEel streamer, at sampling rates between 0.125 and 0.5 ms depending on the streamer and source pairing. Data are provided in standard SEG-D format. The data were acquired as part of the 'Characterization of major overburden leakage pathways above sub-seafloor CO2 storage reservoirs in the North Sea' (CHIMNEY) project, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) under grant reference NE/N016130/1.</span
Subduing power : Indigenous sovereignty matters
No full textThe concept of ‘power’ can refer to the institutionalised and\ud
embodied capacity and right to dominate through a variety\ud
of means including ideology, politics, science, religion, class,\ud
race, gender and sexuality. Early feminist theorising within\ud
the West, for example, conceptualised the structure and\ud
nature of power as being connected to male domination and\ud
authority within society. Marxists, alternately, argue it is the\ud
ruling class that holds power and exercises it as owners of the\ud
means of production. In a general sense, we can say that as\ud
feminists have tied power to patriarchy and Marxists’ definitions\ud
of power have been connected to capitalism. The essays\ud
in this section, though, are less concerned with such totalising\ud
conceptualisations of power than they are with processes of\ud
interpellation or subject creation within dominant or dominating\ud
discursive spaces.1 Not power as such, but its many\ud
workings and apparatuses
Constraints on fluid flow pathways from shear-wave splitting in and around an active fluid-escape structure: Scanner Pockmark, North Sea
No full textVertical fluid-escape structures observed in seismic reflection data represent an important class of potentially active fluid flow pathways. An understanding of the mechanism of fluid flow in these types of structures is needed to assess the risk of natural gas venting from potential subsurface carbon dioxide storage operations. The Scanner Pockmark Complex is a 22 m deep, 900 × 450 m seabed depression in the North Sea, which actively vents methane, and is underlain by a seismic chimney structure with horizontal dimensions of ∼300 × 600 m. Gas accumulation is evidenced by the presence of bright reflectors at the top of this seismic chimney, at a depth of ∼50 m below the seabed. Here, we analyse seismic anisotropy in these shallow sediments using shear wave splitting observed on ocean bottom seismographs (OBS). Anisotropy varies spatially, with a strength of ∼1-4 per cent, on several OBS located in and around the pockmark complex. By correlating these observations with calculated subsurface P- and S-wave velocities, we show that there is anisotropy present throughout the sediments through which the chimney passes, which are interpreted as relating to syn- and post-depositional glaciomarine processes. However, within the chimney itself the orientation of the fast direction is different to that outside the chimney and the degree of anisotropy is lower. We attribute this difference as indicating that the anisotropy observed within the chimney is associated with the formation and continued presence of the gas migration system, which overprints the background depositional anisotropy.</p

Increasing Distributed Generation Penetration using Soft Normally-Open Points
No full textThis paper considers the effects of various voltage control solutions on facilitating an increase in allowable levels of distributed generation installation before voltage violations occur. In particular, the voltage control solution that is focused on is the implementation of `soft' normally-open points (SNOPs), a term which refers to power electronic devices installed in place of a normally-open point in a medium-voltage distribution network which allows for control of real and reactive power flows between each end point of its installation sites. While other benefits of SNOP installation are discussed, the intent of this paper is to determine whether SNOPs are a viable alternative to other voltage control strategies for this particular application. As such, the SNOPs ability to affect the voltage profile along feeders within a distribution system is focused on with other voltage control options used for comparative purposes. Results from studies on multiple network models with varying topologies are presented and a case study which considers economic benefits of increasing feasible DG penetration is also given
Evidence from North Carolina Shows that Immigrant Students with Limited English Have a Very Minor Impact on Native Students' Performance
No full textMuch of the recent concern about undocumented immigration into the U.S. can be linked to the perceived burden that these immigrants may create on the public education system. But is this really the case? Through analyzing detailed information on the performance of students in North Carolina,Timothy M. Diette and Ruth Uwaifo Oyelere find that the presence of students with limited English does have a negative, though small, effect on the math and reading achievement of natives that are male and black. They argue, however, that these effects are so small as not to warrant policy interventions.
