Threats posed by the climate crisis have created an urgent need for sustainable green
energy. Geothermal resources have the potential to provide up to 150 GWe of sustainable …

The microstructure and mineralogy of volcanic rocks is varied and complex, and their
mechanical behaviour is similarly varied and complex. This review summarises recent …

Microcracking due to thermal stresses affects the mechanical and flow properties of rocks,
which is significant for thermally dynamic environments such as volcanoes and geothermal …

Volcanic rocks are the prominent host rocks in geothermal and volcanic systems in general,
displaying heterogeneity. Although various external factors such as temperature, pressure …

The transition to a low-carbon economy will increase demand for a wide range of metals,
notably copper, which is used extensively in power generation and in electric vehicles …

Hydrothermal fluids can alter the chemical and physical properties of the materials through
which they pass and can therefore modify the efficiency of fluid circulation. The role of …

Geothermal energy is a viable alternative to gas for the heating of buildings, industrial areas
and greenhouses, and can thus play an important role in making the transition to …

Over the last decade, field investigations, laboratory experiments, geophysical exploration
and petrological, geochemical and numerical modelling have provided insight into the …

Understanding the interactions between surface and deep Earth processes is important for
research in many diverse scientific areas including climate, environment, energy …

The thermal properties of volcanic rocks are crucial to accurately model heat transfer in
volcanoes and in geothermal systems located within volcanic deposits. Here we provide …
