Induced seismicity and geomechanics
What are the relationships between the local stress field, the geomechanical properties of fractures and fault zones and induced seismicity?
Thermal water cycle
Geothermal fluids form a chemical equilibrium with the reservoir rock. What changes can be observed in the geothermal system during circulation?
Reservoir modeling
We use numerical methods to understand and influence the effects of coupled processes on the geothermal reservoir and the physical and chemical processes.
Reservoir characterization
Sustainable use strategies are the basis for the optimal exploitation of geothermal resources, and a good understanding of the reservoir is a prerequisite for geothermal storage concepts.
