Long-term physical impacts of Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES)
Researcher: Philip Visser
Current affiliation: VU University/Arcadis
Supervisors:
Duration: 2010-2013
Funding: Centre of excellence for sustainable water technology (TTIW) Wetsus
Research questions
- What are the long-term energy balances of ATES?
- What are the long-term effects on the subsurface thermal regime?
- How does this compare to disturbances caused by climate change, land-surface change (notably urban development), and groundwater supply well fields?
