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]

Alejandra's paper on "Analysing seasonal variations of methane oxidation processes coupled with denitrification in a stratified lake using stable isotopes and numerical  modeling"  got accepted in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, a leading peer-reviewed journal in biogeochemistry. In the 1970s,… [read more]

For the city of Munich, we identify the dominant anthropogenic and natural influences on groundwater temperature and analyse how the influences change with increasing depth in the subsurface. [read more]

The fiber optic cable allows monitoring of temperature and acoustic/strain in the geothermal reservoir and is suspended along a free-hanging rod. This paper describes the effect of temperature changes on the acquisition of distributed acoustic/strain sensing data along the cable that occurred during… [read more]

Productivity enhancement of geothermal wells through fault zones: Efficient numerical evaluation of a parameter space for the Upper Jurassic aquifer of the North Alpine Foreland Basin [read more]

Water chemical data and environmental isotope analyses of δD, δ18O and 87Sr/86Sr that were obtained from groundwater of 24 deep Upper Jurassic geothermal wells together with few analyses of noble gases (3He/4He, 40Ar/36Ar) were interpreted. Data show a hydrochemical zoning of the SGMB and suggest a… [read more]

Based on extensive data from the high temperature heat storage test in the carbonates of the Upper Jurassic in the Molasse Basin, a mathematical framework to describe the effects of the hydrochemical reactions on the hydraulic performance of such systems was developed in cooperation with colleagues… [read more]

Here we work on technical solutions and the understanding of biogeochemical processes within the N- and Fe-cycles to develop a cutting-edge method to remove excess nitrate from groundwater.   Clara Duffner, Anja Wunderlich, Michael Schloter*, Stefanie Schulz and Florian Einsiedl* (2021): Strategies… [read more]
