Buoyant currents arrested by convective dissolution
When carbon dioxide (CO[subscript 2]) dissolves into water, the density of water increases. This seemingly insubstantial phenomenon has profound implications for geologic carbon sequestration. Here we show, by means of laboratory experiments with analog fluids, that the up-slope migration of a buoya...
