Core Ideas OZCAR is a network of sites studying the critical zone. OZCAR covers various
disciplines. OZCAR will help disciplines to work together for a better representation and …

In theory, aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) systems can recover in winter the heat
stored in the aquifer during summer to increase the energy efficiency of the system. In …

Temperature logs are an important tool in the geothermal industry. Temperature
measurements from boreholes are used for exploration, system design, and monitoring. The …

Abstract Application of Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage with High Temperatures (HT-ATES)
ranging from 60–90° C is a promising technique to store large amounts of energy in urban …

Using heat as an active tracer for aquifer characterization is a topic of increasing interest. In
this study, we investigate the potential of using heat tracer tests for characterization of a …

In sparse fracture systems flow and transport patterns are often dominated by main
flowpaths and characterized by a strong complexity induced by the fractures' surface …

Determining permeability distributions in reservoirs is critical for the management of limited
earth resources. While hydraulic fracturing is widely used to enhance the permeability of …

The modeling and prediction of heat transfer in fractured media is particularly challenging as
hydraulic and transport properties depend on a multiscale structure that is difficult to resolve …

Field‐scale properties of fractured rocks play a crucial role in many subsurface applications,
yet methodologies for identification of the statistical parameters of a discrete fracture network …

Fracture surface topography exhibits long-range spatial correlations resulting in a
heterogeneous aperture field. This leads to the formation, within fracture planes, of …
