1. 1. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) As a Non-invasive Optimization Tool for the Exploration and Management of Raw Materials

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Aaron Josue Sediles Martinez; [2022]
   Keywords : drone exploration; UAVs; value proposition; entrepreneurship; raw materials; sustainability;

   Abstract : In the current context of the energy transition, it has been argued by researchers and authors that the demand for raw materials for the necessary green technologies can’t be met without the input of primary raw materials. These materials can only be supplied through the mining cycle: exploration, mining, and processing. READ MORE

3. 2. Performance Evaluation of a High Temperature Borehole Thermal Energy Storage Under Influence of Groundwater Flow

   University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

   Author : Max Hesselbrandt; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Recent years have seen a growing interest in large-scale high-temperature borehole thermal energy storage (HT-BTES) as a means to store industrial waste heat and solar energy between the seasons. A profound understanding and characterization of the thermal and hydraulic processes involved in such systems is required for the optimal design as well as for environmental assessments of the storage.

4. 3. 3D geologic subsurface modeling within the Mackenzie Plain, Northwest Territories, Canada

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Nadine Raska; [2017]
   Keywords : geology; 3D modeling; geography; geographic information systems; horizons; stratigraphic modeling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Three-dimensional (3D) models are widely used within the geosciences to provide scientists with conceptual and quantitative models of the earth’s subsurface. As a result, 3D geologic modelling is a growing field, such that scientific research often cannot keep up with technical advancements. READ MORE

5. 4. The Geothermal Potential in Isla Campuzano, Nicaragua

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)
