Thermal-Hydrologic-Mechanical Processes and Effects on Heat Transfer in Enhanced/Engineered Geothermal Systems

Energies
Enhanced or engineered geothermal systems (EGSs), or non-hydrothermal resources, are highly notable among sustainable energy resources because of their abundance and cleanness.

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Optimal HDR exploitation siting of gravity heat pipe geothermal systems via reservoir simulation

Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources
Gravity heat pipe system has previously been proven as an environmental and efficient technology in exploiting hot dry rock. However, it is unclear what geothermal reservoir siting is more favorable for the system’s heat extraction performance.

Leveraging Big Multitemporal Multisource Satellite Data and Artificial Intelligence for the Detection of Complex and Invisible Features: The Case of Extensive Irrigation Mapping

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The detection of buried or obscured archaeological features remains a central challenge in landscape archaeology, particularly in the irrigated floodplains of Mesopotamia where levees and canals formed the basis of complex agrarian systems. This study presents a deep learning–based approach for the large‐scale, automated detection of ancient ...

Thermal Conductivity of Rocks Associated with Energy Extraction from Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Systems [PDF]

, 1978
Because the lifetime of and heat extraction rate from a hot dry rock (HDR) geothermal reservoir can be substantially controlled by the in situ rock thermal conductivity, information concerning the dependence of thermal conductivity on moisture content and temperature is important for proper design and management of the reservoir.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Enhancement of the Plant‐Accessible Phosphate Fraction in Sewage Sludge Ashes by Na+ or K+ Addition Prior to Combustion

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The addition of Na2CO3 or K2CO3 to sewage sludge prior to combustion leads to the production of ashes containing phosphate in the form of buchwaldite‐like phases (Ca(Na/K)PO4). Compared to conventional sewage sludge mono‐ashes, such Na‐ or K‐ashes show greatly increased P‐solubilities and proved to be potent P‐fertiliser materials in greenhouse ...

Caving‐enhanced geothermal system overwhelms fracturing‐ and pipe‐enhanced geothermal system in heat extraction

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Our study reveals that caving‐enhanced geothermal systems (C‐EGS) with adequately fractured reservoirs achieve optimal heat extraction by minimizing preferential flow paths, while conventional fracturing (F‐EGS) and pipe‐based (P‐EGS) systems suffer accelerated thermal drawdown.

Geothermal energy sources and possibilities of their exploitation [PDF]

Acta Montanistica Slovaca, 2007
The geothermal energy is everywhere beneath the surface of the earth. The earth’s interior is enormous thermal reservoir of energy, which can be utilized if favorable geological conditions exist.The electricity generation in 1942 at Larderello was a ...

Determination of Hydraulic Properties of a Large Self-Propped Hydraulic Fracture in the Geothermal Research Borehole Horstberg Z1 in the Northwest German Basin

Geofluids, 2019
The pressure records of an interference test on a huge hydraulic fracture in a layered sedimentary rock formation of the Northwest German Basin were analysed in order to determine fracture transmissivity and fracture storage coefficient. The fracture had
