Our Research
The reserach in our section falls into three categories: Geo-Energy, Geo-environmental Protection, and Computational Geosciences.
Geo-Energy
Our research on geo-energy explores methods to harness Earth's geothermal energy, advances the storage of liquid hydrogen in the subsurface, and studies the carbon footprint.
Geo-Environmental Protection
Industrial operations and anthopogenic interventions carry risks. Our research explores techniques to mitigate the impact of fossil fuel consumption, and analyzes the consequences of subsurface operations to reduce their future impact.
Computational Geoscience
The subsurface is mostly out of reach and out of sight. To rigorously analyse and predict the impact of subsurface operations, we advance research in data assimilation, optimization and control theory, and numerical simulation.
