Hydrological constraints on the potential of enhanced geothermal systems in the ductile crust

open access: yesGeothermal Energy
Continental crust at temperatures > 400 °C and depths > 10–20 km normally deforms in a ductile manner, but can become brittle and permeable in response to changes in temperature or stress state induced by fluid injection.

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Techno-economic assessment and potential of geothermal energy in Bangladesh for mitigating the energy crisis: A critical review

open access: yesEnergy Strategy Reviews
Geothermal energy, sourced from the Earth's internal heat, offers a sustainable and reliable alternative to conventional energy systems. Approximately 80% of this geothermal heat originates from the decay of radioactive elements, while the remaining ...

Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

Thermal‐induced fracture evolution and acoustic signature of Beishan granite: Insights into tensile strength of barrier system for high‐level radioactive waste disposal

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.

Extraction of geothermal fluids from enhanced geothermal systems: optimization of a gas lift sparger

open access: yesGeothermal Energy
This study explores the application of a gas lift system for extracting geothermal fluids from enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) with reservoir temperatures exceeding $$400^{\circ }$$ 400 ∘ C ( $$752^{\circ }$$ 752 ∘ F) and depths up to 15 km (9.3 mi ...

Advances in vital‐sign prediction and early‐warning models for underground coal mine workers integrating environmental factors

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes advances in predicting miners' vital signs by integrating environmental monitoring (dust, temperature, and gas) with physiological data. It highlights multi‐source data fusion techniques and early‐warning models for enhanced occupational safety in underground coal mines.
