What is the heat beneath our feet? There is a growing interest in the geothermal resources
available at shallow depth beneath cities. However, there exists no general procedure for …

Anthropogenic warming of the atmosphere is one if not the most pressing challenge we face
in the 21st century. While our state of knowledge on human drivers of atmospheric warming …

Climate change will have both quantitative and qualitative effects on groundwater resources.
These impacts differ for aquifers in solid and unconsolidated rock, in urban or rural locations …

Successful electrification of cities' heating and cooling demands depends on the sustainable
implementation of highly efficient ground source heat pumps (GSHP). During the last …

Urban heat islands in the subsurface contain large quantities of energy in the form of
elevated groundwater temperatures caused by anthropogenic heat fluxes (AHF S) into the …

Many cities leave a considerable thermal footprint in the subsurface. This is caused mainly
by accelerated heat fluxes from warmed basements, pavements and buried infrastructures …

A superposition of several thermal processes leads to an elevation of groundwater
temperatures of up to 9° C above the natural state in the city of Basel, Switzerland. The …

The use of shallow geothermal systems (SGS) as a proficient technology to provide clean
thermal energy has become increasingly widespread throughout the world, especially in …

Shallow aquifers beneath cities are highly influenced by anthropogenic heat sources,
resulting in the formation of extensive subsurface urban heat islands. In addition to …

River ecosystems are highly sensitive to climate change and projected future increase in air
temperature is expected to increase the stress for these ecosystems. Rivers are also an …
