Hydrogeology
Dummy

Groundwater exploration, a sustainable groundwater management as well as the protection of this resource characterize essential aspects in the subject of hydrogeology. Besides the hydrochemical composition (qualitative) of the groundwater, this field of expertise also accounts for its subsurface flow characteristics (quantitative). With respect to this, it is indispensible to have the best knowledge possible about the structural conditions of the hydrogeological system.

Classical methodologies for system characterization are the analysis and integration of geological borehole data, geophysical measurements, remote sensing, laboratory experiments on representative field samples and hydrogeological field methods (pumping or infiltration tests) for the in-situ determination of related parameters.

The evaluation of hydrogeological systems is linked to site-specific monitoring programs and/or the use of multidimensional numerical flow and transport models. Depending on the issue involved, the models can be hydraulic, hydrochemical, or also thermodynamic, while corresponding model couplings are generally possible.

Geothermal Energy
Dummy

Geothermal potential denotes heat energy that is naturally occurring and which is stored in the subsurface. Geothermal studies are becoming more and more important as a result of a more critical resource and energy situation. In the context of renewable energy, the use of natural geothermal systems has an enormous potential for using geothermal energy in terms of electricity, heat energy, or for cooling processes. Independent of fossil and conventional combustible materials, geothermal studies makes a natural energy reservoir available that guarantees provision of energy over long periods of time.
