From October 17 to 21, the European Geothermal Congress EGC 2022 took place in Berlin, attended by project staff and PhD students of the chair. Daniela Pfrang and Felix Schölderle from the Geothermal Energy Group presented their works in two talks about geophysical reservoir characterization… [read more]

Im Rahmen des Praxisforum Geothermie.Bayern 2022 wurde dieses Jahr zum fünften Mal der Christian-Hecht-Preis für die beste nachwuchswissenschaftliche Arbeit in der tiefen Geothermie ausgezeichnet. Wir gratulieren unserem Doktoranden Felix Schölderle zu dem Gewinn des Preises für seine Arbeit zum… [read more]

We are looking for a researcher with profound knowledge in numerical modeling of groundwater systems. See more information here. [read more]

Tamara and colleagues, in collaboration with Bill Orsi's group (LMU), published a new article describing the fate of methane in the Hyporheic Zone, https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/19/4551/2022/. Congratulations to Tamara! [read more]

The research work entitled "Assessing Economic Feasibility of Managed Aquifer Recharge Schemes: Evidence from Cost-benefit Analysis in Poland" has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Water Resources Management. Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) systems are among the solutions that are capable… [read more]

Within the project KompakT we published a study which analyses the sensitivity and uncertainty of different methods to correct disturbed temperature measurements to the formation temperature and which proposes a new workflow for such corrections. Although the input parameters are often poorly… [read more]

Mass transfer rates at liquid–liquid interfaces are relevant for a broad range of processes in natural and technical systems. The objective of this study was to characterize and quantify convective flow along the interface between water and nonaqueous-phase liquids (NAPLs). Three NAPLs with… [read more]

Within the Geothermal Alliance Bavaria (GAB) we published a study which proposes the cost-optimal coordinated deployment of geothermal heating plants together with heat transport and distribution networks to simultaneously supply geothermal heat to multiple urban areas. The study describes a… [read more]

Within the GEOKW Projekt, we published a study that introduces a new optimization method for well layouts of groundwater heat pumps. The method is a gradient-based optimization that uses the adjoint approach and allows for continuous well locations and a large number of wells. It can be used to find… [read more]
