Oktober 2026: GeoHEAT team members participated in the CouFrac 2026 conference in Uppsala, Sweden. The presentation focused on the integration of borehole observations and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data to improve fracture-network characterization and permeability upscaling in fractured geothermal reservoirs.

September 2026: GeoHEAT team members showcased the geological model of the Thurgau subsurface on the Thurgau WEGA fair. Visitors had the chance to experience the subsurface via Virtual Reality. A small survey was conducted to evaluate how the VR demonstration influences the understanding, perception and acceptance of geothermal energy among the public. Similar surveys will follow in other European regions. More information on LinkedIn.
September 2026: A prototype of the Low Temperature Radar Tool has successfully passed its borehole field test. The prototype was deployed and tested in a real borehole environment, demonstrating the functionality of key design innovations, including the antenna configuration, signal acquisition system, data communication, and storage concepts. The successful test validates important aspects of the radar technology that will form the basis for the next development phase, a High Temperature Radar Tool. More information on LinkedIn.
