We investigate the presence of local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) effects during heat flow in porous media. In this study, we present (1) an advanced laboratory experiment to investigate granular-scale heat transport by measuring temperature responses in fluid and solid phases using varying grain… [weiterlesen]

This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of large-scale groundwater flow concepts for the Upper Jurassic aquifer in the South German Molasse Basin. The research integrates data on age dating, hydrochemistry, hydraulics, temperature distribution, and flow systematics, offering a unified… [weiterlesen]

The City of Munich has commissioned TUM’s Chair of Hydrogeology to update the maximum groundwater level map, essential for urban planning and groundwater management. The project also examines how climate and anthropogenic factors, such as civil engineering measures, sealing and unsealing, as well as… [weiterlesen]

Concepts of High-Temperature Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (HT-ATES) (> 50 °C) are investigated in this study for system application in the Upper Jurassic reservoir (Malm aquifer) of the German Molasse Basin (North Alpine Foreland Basin). The karstified and fractured carbonate rocks exhibit… [weiterlesen]

In the Hallertau, the shallow aquifers are under stress due to the high irrigation demand for hop gardens. While the groundwater level has fallen over the last ten years, there have been several severe floods that have revealed inadequate protection.  This makes the site a perfect location for… [weiterlesen]

(6.12.2024) Die diesjährige Heizsaison hat am Energiestandort Süd mit einer Neuigkeit begonnen: Im „Bohrloch Th6”, einem von insgesamt sechs der Geothermieanlage, reicht nun ein Glasfaserkabel bis zu 3.100 Meter in die Tiefe. Das Kabel ergänzt zwei weitere, die in den vergangenen Jahren in… [weiterlesen]

On December 3, 2024, Felix Schölderle  successfully defended his dissertation entitled “Towards an Improvement of the Prediction of Geothermal Production Temperatures: Uncertainty Assessment and Integrated Flow Zone Monitoring' at the Chair of Hydrogeology”. We are proud to honor this significant… [weiterlesen]

On November 14, 2024, the NitratLURCH project team gathered at the UFZ in Leipzig for a one-day meeting. Discussions focused on reviewing the project's current progress and setting the course for the next 1.5 to 2 years. The event provided an excellent opportunity for team members to exchange… [weiterlesen]
