Geoscience & Engineering
It is our strong conviction that our research should contribute to Responsible Use of the Geosphere considering the Impact on System Earth and Society.
We define the geosphere to be that portion of Earth system that includes Earth's interior, rocks, minerals and soils, landforms and the processes that shape the Earth's surface. Responsible use includes the activities related to exploration, exploitation and mitigation of natural and man-induced geo-hazards.

Vidi grant: Understanding the behaviour of clays
Anne-Catherine Dieudonné receives a NWO Vidi grant to study the interaction between water and clays. Predicting the time-dependent behaviour of clays has been a major challenge so far. By focusing on the distribution and properties of water in clays, it will become clear how clays behave under stress with time.

Breaking barriers for geothermal energy
As Europe pushes to meet its renewable energy targets, geothermal energy, with its potential to provide a reliable and climate-friendly source of heat, must be scaled up. The new EU-funded FindHeat consortium, led by TU Delft, will develop an innovative toolkit to support more efficient and sustainable exploitation of geothermal energy. It will reduce technical and economic risks and boost public support.

A better picture of the subsurface thanks to data assimilation
Max Ramgraber, geowetenschapper bij de TU Delft, ontvangt een NWO Veni-beurs om de ondergrond beter in kaart te brengen. Informatie over de vaak lastig bereikbare diepte zijn schaars, en gaan vaak gepaard met statistische onzekerheid. Daarom werkt Ramgraber aan een statistische methode waarbij hij verschillende, vaak complexe, data combineert.
