Abstract: As bedrock weathers to regolith – defined here as weathered rock, saprolite, and soil – porosity grows, guides fluid flow, and liberates nutrients from minerals. Though vital to terrestrial life, the processes that transform bedrock… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ijlct/ctab041
Abstract: The development and application of enhanced geothermal system and hydrothermal system are constrained due to high cost and high risk of induced seismicity or heavily reliance on hot water reservoir. Deep borehole heat exchanger (DBHE)… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/en12101980
Abstract: Post-closure performance assessment (PA) calculations suggest that deep borehole disposal of cesium (Cs)/strontium (Sr) capsules, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) waste form (WF), is safe, resulting in no releases to the biosphere over 10,000,000… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/su13126918
Abstract: Geothermal energy is a reliable and mature energy source, but it represents less than 1% of the total renewable energy mix. While the enhanced geothermal system (EGS) concept faces technical validation challenges and suffers from… read more here.
