🌱 It’s been almost four years since we started reorienting our subsurface research and teaching away from fossil fuels toward a more sustainable, clean-energy future.

In this post, we’re reflecting on our progress made so far.

Take a look at some of our highlights 👇

Dr Na Yan and Prof Nigel Mountney are co-authors on a new paper exploring how key modelling choices affect predictions of geothermal doublet performance in fluvial meander-belt reservoirs.
