The study, which was published this year under the leadership of our working group in collaboration with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the University of Basel, sheds light on the warming of groundwater caused by underground car parks.
Various news sites picked up on a press release from MLU and reported on the contents of the study in further articles. Maxi also gave a short interview for MDR.
