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

open access: yesInternational 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.

Hydro‐Mechanical Modelling of Gas Migration in Bentonite: Formulation and Laboratory‐Scale Validation

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gas generation and migration in bentonite buffer materials are critical processes affecting the performance of deep geological repositories for radioactive waste. This study presents a new hydro‐mechanical formulation for simulating gas migration in saturated, compacted bentonite, with particular emphasis on the role of non‐uniform stress ...

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

open access: yesNear 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.

Recovery from electrode position uncertainties in geophysical electrical resistance tomography – Application to moisture transport imaging

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract In studies of subsurface hydrology, monitoring and imaging techniques are used to estimate the moisture content, or to track moisture or injected tracer movement. One applied imaging technique is electrical resistance tomography (ERT), in which measurements collected using electrodes placed on the ground surface or in boreholes are used to ...

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.
