Insights on structural deformation within the Münsterland, Germany, from legacy and newly acquired 2D seismic data for the development of conventional geothermal systems

, 2023
The Münsterland Cretaceous Basin with its underlying coal-bearing Paleozoic strata has become one of the prolific areas in North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany, to develop conventional geothermal systems. The presence and structural deformation of four potential calcareous and siliciclastic geothermal reservoirs within the basin (Upper Cretaceous ...

Radar isochrones as constraints on paleo–ice-sheet model simulations in two off-divide regions of East Antarctica [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Radio-echo sounding of polar ice masses has revealed extensive isochrones that have primarily been used to constrain paleo-accumulation rates, geothermal heat flux, and changes in ice-sheet dynamics in stable regions of the ice sheet. However, isochrones

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

Deep 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.

Geological carbon dioxide storage in the German North Sea: Static‐to‐dynamic capacity refinement for a 10 Mt/y injection scenario

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study assesses whether a saline aquifer in the German North Sea can sustain industrial‐scale CO2 injection at 10 Mt/year over 30 years. A 3D reservoir model is used to compare static capacity with dynamically achievable storage. The work links site‐scale injection strategy design with basin‐scale pressure response, providing a framework for ...
