Short summary
Short summary
Stakeholder participation in numerical modeling of brine migration due to injection of CO2 into deep saline aquifers is tested in this work. Part 1 reports the process of participatory modeling in the development of a numerical model and Part 2 discusses essential technical findings obtained through this model, showing that notable increases in salt concentrations are confined to regions where they were already high a priori and where barrier layers are discontinuous.

Stakeholder participation in numerical modeling of brine migration due to injection of CO2 into deep saline aquifers has proven a valuable approach to identifying and quantifying the potential hazard of groundwater contamination with salt. This paper (i) reports the process of participatory modeling and (ii) discusses essential findings showing that notable increases in salt concentrations are confined to regions where they were already high a priori and where barrier layers are discontinuous.

Short summary
The ways to safely dispose of highly radioactive waste are manifold and remain a central sociopolitical challenge. In an expert workshop, a total of seven different future paths of nuclear waste disposal were identified and classified in terms of their plausibility and probability of implementation.
