Research title: Reducing the uncertainty on rock thermo-physical properties to de-risk geothermal engineering applications

Research Summary

As a geologist by background, I am intrested in the role of earth sciences in sustainable energy, in particular geothermal energy.

As a part of the THERMOCAL research team my current reaseach focusses of de-risking geothermal developments in Caledonian rocks across Scotland, Norway and Northern Ireland.

Previous published research has utilised hydrogeolical modelling and structural field mapping in Hot Sedimentary Aquifer settings.
