Project title: Surface-deployed fibre optic sensing for sub-surface gas monitoring

Project acronym: DASGAS

Project report ID: C3-TA1-44-1-4

Date of visit: 21-30 July 2025 (10 days at the facility; arrival 20 July 2025, departure 31 July 2025)

Geo-INQUIRE Virtual Access: 

Data/Products: At the time of reporting, data processing and interpretation are ongoing. The project has produced raw surface DAS, borehole DAS, and borehole ERT datasets from the July 2025 controlled CO2 injection experiment. The data are currently stored on institutional servers at MBARI with redundant backups. Initial quality control has been completed,
and standardised processing workflows for DAS and ERT are being developed. Data access and DOI: The DASGAS datasets have been deposited in Zenodo under open-access records. The deposited datasets comprise borehole DAS and ERT data, together with surface DAS data divided into three separate Zenodo records because of dataset size. The borehole DAS and ERT datasets are available at: 10.5281/zenodo.21193610

The surface DAS datasets are available in three parts at:
10.5281/zenodo.21208202
10.5281/zenodo.21208303
10.5281/zenodo.21208335

Processing and interpretation are ongoing, and any future processed products and software workflows will be linked
to these records or deposited in an appropriate open-access repository. All datasets are released under an open
license compatible with Geo-INQUIRE requirements and cite Geo-INQUIRE as the source of funding.

Software and digital products: no standalone software product has yet been released. Processing workflows for DAS
and ERT data are under development and will be documented with the data release where applicable.

Publications and dissemination: no publications have yet resulted from the access. The project team intends to submit
the results to a peer-reviewed international journal following completion of the DAS and ERT analyses. Presentation at
relevant scientific conferences will be considered once the integrated interpretation is complete. All resulting
datasets, products, and publications will acknowledge Geo-INQUIRE using the required funding statement: Geo-
INQUIRE is funded by the European Union (GA 101058518).
