A paper has recently been published in the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control. It summarises research carried out within the RISCS and CO2 GeoNet projects on the possible impacts of CO2 leakage from geological storage on European pasture environments.
A paper has been published in a Special Issue of the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control marking the 10 years since the publication of the IPCC Special Report on CCS. It reviews research in the last ten years on the potential environmental impacts of leakage of CO2, to the seabed or into the atmosphere, from geological storage.

Environmental Impacts of CO 2 Storage Workshop
Europe's largest general science meeting ESOF is an interdisciplinary, pan-European meeting, which showcases the latest ad-vances in science and technology; promotes a dialogue on the role of science and technology in society and public policy; and stimulates and provokes public interest, excitement and debate about science and technology.
RISCS was represented at the forum by Dave Jones, BGS, coordinator for the project.
