current research

My main interests are (1) Geothermal energy and crustal geothermics; (2) paleoclimate - potential contributions by the geothermal method; (3) simulation of flow and reactive transport in porous and fractured formations; (4) hydrogeophysics - information on the subsurface transport and storage properties obtained from surface and borehole geophysics; (5) Geophysical log interpretation. Current projects are:

• Heat transport processes in the upper crust a detailed geothermal and hydrogeological study in the area of the Kola deep hole, Russia, funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG)
• The thermal regime of the Eastern Alps from inversion analyses along a north-south crustal profile (DFG)
• Simulation of flow, species and heat transport coupled with dissolution and precipitation of minerals, funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG)
• Scenarios for the occurence of anhydrite in geothermal reservoirs - more reliable predictions of petrophysical reservoir properties and possible measures for their improvement (BMBF)

• Identifying and quantifying flow - geothermal scanning of the German subsurface for identifying suitable formations for nuclear waste repositories (BfS)
