A method for measuring a carbon capture and sequestration site. The method may comprise acquiring one or more core samples from a carbon capture and sequestration site, performing a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement on the one or more core samples to form a first NMR measurementperforming a surface roughness measurement on the one or more core samples to determine a Rs,before wherein the Rs,before is a surface roughness of the one or more core samples before the one or more core samples are aged in a cell, and determining at least one property of the one or more core samples from at least the first NMR measurement and the Rs,before.
