Groundwater has been known as the second largest freshwater storage in the world,
following surface water. Over the years, groundwater has already been under overwhelming …

Urban areas increasingly suffer from subsurface heat islands: an underground climate
change responsible for environmental, public health, and transportation issues. Soils, rocks …

Geothermal energy is a constant, reliable source of energy which has the potential to play a
key role in decarbonisation of the heating of buildings in the UK. At present it is …

Deep borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) can be utilised effectively for geothermal (heat)
extraction from up to a few kilometres below the subsurface using the conventional closed U …

During the last decades, both population growth and increasingly concentration in cities turn
these areas into major consumers of energy, mainly due to heating and cooling energy …

Global warming has brought extensive and far-reaching impacts on human life and
production. A pumped hydro energy storage contributes to the large-scale development of …

This study focuses on the determination of two thermal properties of soil that are critical in
understanding its heating and cooling behaviour in a variety of geotechnical and …

Borehole heat exchanger applications are growing every day–so pronouncedly that many
borehole fields will likely operate in dense installation areas in the foreseeable future. In …

The presence of anthropogenic infrastructure within the ground under cities can act to
increase the temperature of the subsurface in a phenomenon known as the subsurface …

Groundwater heat pump (GWHP) systems are extensively utilized for heating and cooling.
However, despite being a wellestablished technology, their impact on the geological …
