Repurposing of disused shale gas wells for subsurface heat storage: preliminary analysis concerning UK issues [PDF]

, 2016
Development of many wells is envisaged in the UK in coming decades to exploit the abundant shale gas resource as fuel and petrochemical feedstock. Forward planning is therefore warranted regarding reuse of the resulting subsurface infrastructure after ...

Naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) in energy production sectors: exposure, effective doses and regulatory challenges

Environment International
The oil and gas industry, coal mining, and coal-fired power plants, as well as geothermal energy plants, have been investigated in the past with respect to various aspects of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM). However, existing assessments

Radar Specularity Content Indicates a Strong Geothermal Heat Flow Gradient in Antarctica's South Pole Basin

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Accurate estimates of geothermal heat flow (GHF) are critical for predicting basal melting and identifying stable sites for ancient ice, yet GHF remains one of the least constrained boundary conditions for the Antarctic Ice Sheet. We evaluate nine published Antarctic GHF models against radar‐derived specularity content in the South Pole Basin (

Eocene Tectonic Change in the South Pacific Caused Exhumation of the Transantarctic Mountains in Northern Victoria Land, Antarctica

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Apatite fission‐track and (U‐Th)/He data indicate rapid exhumation of northern Victoria Land at 40–30 Ma, correlating with opening of Adare Trough at 43–28 Ma. Exhumation was greatest close to the Ross Sea, consistent with other regions of the Transantarctic Mountains.

A New GRIME2: Using an Octagon Calibration Target and Trail Camera to Measure Stream Water Level Over a 2‐Year Period

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract GaugeCam Remote Image Manager Educational 2 (GRIME2) is a free, open‐source Windows application for water level measurement in surface water bodies using ground‐based time‐lapse imagery. We evaluated a new “stop sign” (i.e., octagon shape) calibration target and GRIME2 algorithms by comparing results to other measurement methods over a 26 ...

Extreme environments in a world of new extremes

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Extreme environments, whether defined by climate, soils, or disturbance, at landscape or micro‐scales, are prevalent across Earth's surface and have long served as crucibles for ecological and evolutionary insights. Many foundational theories were developed in deserts, cliffs, ultramafic soils, and other harsh systems.
