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]

Congratulations to Dr. Konrad! [read more]

Here we reported 14C-DOC and 81Kr groundwater dating results together with hydrochemical data, stable water isotopes, noble gases and out-diffusion experiments that indicate that the thermal groundwater consists of at least two groundwater sources: a formerly unknown young groundwater component with… [read more]

Alejandra's second paper on "Seasonal dynamics of anaerobic oxidation of ammonium and denitrification in a dimictic lake during the stratified spring summer period" was published in Limnology & Oceography, a leading peer-reviewed journal in biogeochemistry. Congrats to Alejandra to her nice… [read more]

The research work entitled "A review on risk assessment in managed aquifer recharge" has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management. The critical review presents the existing risk assessment methodologies for Managed Aquifer Recharge. It may help… [read more]

This edition of Geologica Bavarica is addressed to the hydraulic groundwater conditions of the quaternary and tertiary aquifer in the wider area of Munich. The groundwater conditions in Munich, which were visualised and analysed via a detailed 3D-facies-modelling for the very first time. Besides the… [read more]
