This paper is the first one in a planned series of papers that focuses on the hydrogeology and water chemistry of the deep Upper Jurassic groundwater system in the South German Molasse Basin. This aquifer represents a drinking water resource for cities, but is also important for its geothermal use. …

The properties of nanoparticles in the environment might be masked by other molecules covering the nanoparticle surface. The dynamic changes were recorded with Raman microscopy. It turns out, that the most stable/attractive coating is replacing previous coatings.

The Chair of Hydrogeology has recently published a paper in Biogeosciences exploring the the link between the anaerobic methane oxidation with nitrate and the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) in a stratified lake. The occurrence of the two coupled biogeochemical pathways in aquatic…

Most of the scales in geothermal facilities in the North Alpine Foreland Basin are carbonates and the community has developed a pretty good forensic understanding of the processes and hydrogeochemical conditions leading to the precipitates. What has been missing was a data based overview over the…

Ripples are well known from sandy beaches and river sediments. The Geofluids group took a close look at cemented ripples from a geothermal power plant. Here, precipitates with ripple structures accumulated before the heat exchangers and caused additional downtime. The structures revealed that the…
