Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract The relationship between fault reactivation, microearthquakes (MEQs), and permeability evolution during fluid injection plays a critical role in energy harvesting and waste disposal. Recent studies have demonstrated the possibility of predicting fault permeability using cumulative seismic moments of MEQs quantitatively.

In Situ Microscale Shear Failure Mechanism in Hot Dry Rock Under Thermal Cycling
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Induced shear failure is key for enhancing hot dry rock (HDR) resource exploitation, aiming to creating an extensive fracture network. Although the macroscopic shear behavior of HDR has been extensively investigated, its microscopic shear failure mechanisms remain unclear.

Permeability Evolution and Gouge Formation During Fracture Shearing
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.Abstract Hydro‐mechanical processes are crucial in shear‐controlled geoscientific applications such as enhanced geothermal systems and often result in stress‐dependent permeability changes. The present study aims to investigate shear‐induced permeability evolution of a natural sandstone fracture using a novel modeling approach.

Review of artificial intelligence applications in geothermal energy extraction from hot dry rock
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 651-672, December 2025.This paper systematically summarized the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in hot dry rock (HDR) geothermal exploitation and discussed the limitations and opportunities. A novel intelligent HDR exploitation system was proposed to promote the development of HDR toward more efficiency, economy, and intelligence.

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 12, Page 5821-5834, December 2025.ABSTRACT Hydraulic fracturing technology is widely used in Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) projects to induce fractures and enhance the permeability of thermal reservoirs. The hydraulic fracturing process of hot dry rock (HDR) is actually a multiphysics coupling process that couples the heat transfer field, seepage field, stress field, and damage ...
