An Elasto–Plastic Hydro–Mechanical Model for Analyzing the Swelling Behavior of Heterogeneous Clay–Sulfate Rocks

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

Monitoring shallow geothermal aquifers with active‐source distributed acoustic sensing: A prognostic feasibility study on the University of Leeds Geothermal Campus

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom's shallow aquifers offer significant but underdeveloped geothermal energy resource. Seismic methods can help address this by improving the understanding of aquifer heterogeneity and potentially allowing long‐term monitoring of thermal plumes.

Too Hot, Too Cold, Just Right: Thermal Modulating Capacity of Different Sources of Groundwater Discharge to Salmon‐Bearing Streams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Groundwater discharge plays a key role in maintaining habitat suitability for cold‐water fish by generating streamflow and modulating temperatures. However, the thermal influence depends on groundwater source depth and how far groundwater travels from the point of discharge to a receiving stream.

Carbon‐Intensive Agriculture: Agricultural Trade Openness, Energy Use, and Environmental Challenges in High‐Emission Countries

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the socioeconomic determinants of agricultural CO2 emissions in the 10 highest‐emitting agricultural economies from 1992 to 2022. Using the LM bootstrap cointegration method and the method of moments quantile regression (MMQR), the analysis identifies long‐run relationships and heterogeneous effects across the emissions ...

Does Productivity Growth Promote Environmental Sustainability? The Role of Financial Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates whether total factor productivity (TFP) promotes environmental sustainability and examines the moderating and mediating roles of financial development in shaping this relationship. Using balanced panel data for 92 countries from 2000 to 2023, the analysis employs dynamic two‐step Generalised Method of Moments (GMM ...

Advancing SDG 13 and Net‐Zero Emissions in Europe: The Role of Green Technology Innovation, Renewable Energy, Environmental Taxation and Trade Openness

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The European Union (EU) has set ambitious climate goals, aiming to become the first climate‐neutral continent by 2050, with a focus on achieving net‐zero emissions and advancing United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13. A key component of this transition is the role of green technological innovation, the deployment of clean energy ...

Impact of geothermal expansion and lithium extraction in the Salton Sea known geothermal resource area (SS-KGRA) on local water resources

Environmental Research Letters
Saline brines currently being brought to the surface to produce geothermal energy in the Salton Sea region of California contain high concentrations of lithium that could potentially be extracted before the brine is reinjected back into the geothermal ...
