DOI: 10.1016/j.jsg.2017.09.006
Abstract: Abstract In fractured reservoirs in the basement of extensional basins, fault and fracture parameters like density, spacing and length distribution are key properties for modelling and prediction of reservoir properties and fluids flow. As only… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/su12166323
Abstract: Climate vulnerability assessments are an important prerequisite for establishing successful climate adaptation strategies. Despite a growing number of assessments on the national or global scale, there is still a need for regionalized studies with a… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/adgeo-49-197-2019
Abstract: Abstract. In this study we make use of 3-D hydraulic simulations to investigate the regional groundwater flow in the Upper Rhine Graben. The modeling is based on an existing detailed 3-D structural model covering the… read more here.
