Abstract Characterizing the concentration and mass flux spatial distributions at sites with complex hydrogeologic conditions is critical to evaluate the fate and transport of contaminants, as well as to design effective remediation programs. PFAS (per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances)‐contaminated sites are even more complex due to the large number of ...

A Review on Heat Transfer Enhancement of Borehole Heat Exchanger
Abstract The heat transfer enhancements of borehole heat exchanger (BHE) have been intensively studied which strongly influences the performance of ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP) systems. In this paper, some typical heat transfer enhancement methods of BHE are reviewed based on BHE designs, grout materials and the influence of artificial groundwater

Reassessing Alpine Permafrost Thermal State by Accounting for Ground Ice
Abstract Permafrost thermal state, representing the stored “cold energy” in the ground, is crucial for assessing permafrost changes. However, the conventional metric, mean annual ground temperature (MAGT), has inherent limitations because it overlooks the thermodynamic contribution of ground ice.

Modelling Climate Change Effects on Groundwater Recharge and Temperature for a Pre‐Alpine Lysimeter
Climate change is projected to increase winter groundwater recharge and extreme precipitation events in pre‐alpine regions. Groundwater temperatures will rise by up to 26%, primarily driven by air temperature. These trends pose challenges for future water availability and quality, requiring adaptive water resource management.

Performance analysis of deep borehole heat exchangers for decarbonization of heating systems
Meeting the climate change mitigation targets will require a substantial shift from fossil to clean fuels in the heating sector. Heat pumps with deep borehole exchangers are a promising solution to reduce emissions.

ABSTRACT Like other perialpine basins and glaciated margins, the Geneva Basin in SW Switzerland is characterised by buried tunnel valleys, which are elongated incisions widely attributed to subglacial meltwater erosion beneath continental ice sheets. However, an inclusive understanding of the geological control on the evolution of the glacial landscape
