Geophysical characterization of geothermal fields: Inversion of temperature data and ground motions

Geothermal energy, the heat that can be extracted from the Earth’s subsurface, could play an important role in the energy transition towards renewable energy sources. However, the global increase in geothermal applications is relatively slow compared to other renewables, related to the economic uncertainty of geothermal operations. Therefore, a detailed understanding of geothermal reservoirs is necessary, not only to map their potential but also to reduce the risks of geothermal projects by quantifying subsurface uncertainties. In this thesis I aim to provide novel approaches for improving geo... Mehr ...
