University of Arizona researchers have shown that human activities significantly affect Earth’s deep subsurface by altering fluid movements and impacting microbial ecosystems, underscoring the need for responsible management and further research in these deep environments to aid in climate change mitigation.
“Responsible management of the subsurface is central to any hope for a green transition, sustainable future, and keeping warming below a few degrees,” said Peter Reiners, a professor in the UArizona Department of Geosciences and a co-author of the study.With oil and natural gas production, there is always some amount of water, typically saline, that comes from the deep subsurface, McIntosh said.
Using existing data from various sources, including measurements of fluid movements related to oil and gas extraction and water injections for geothermal energy, the team found that the current fluid movement rates induced by human activities are higher compared to how fluids moved before human intervention.
