MSc Maximilian Noethen – Applied Geology

I research the anthropogenic warming of the subsurface and the various heat sources in detail. A large number of structures in the subsurface cause unwanted, local heating of the groundwater, including basements, tunnels or district heating pipes. With my research I want to find out the importance of the different sources for the warming of the subsurface and what effects they have on the ecosystem and the resource groundwater. My goal is to create an overall picture from these different heat sources. The tools to accomplish this are as interdisciplinary as they are thrilling: from field measurements and laboratory tests to numerical modeling and remote sensing. My research aims to holistically investigate and understand unwanted, local heat sources in the subsurface, having the fact in mind that they create a huge energy potential, which can be part of the energy supply of the future.
