Seismic Nodes Deployed in Aberdeen for Geothermal Energy Research
GEOTHERMAL
Researchers in Aberdeen have begun deploying 100 seismic nodes across the city to create a 3D subsurface map for geothermal heating. The sensors will record vibrations over the next 1-2 months to inform potential geothermal energy solutions.
Funded by a £1 million grant from UKRI and led by the University of Aberdeen, the project includes plans for a borehole on King's College campus to gather in-depth geological data. The initiative aims to aid low-carbon heating efforts and reduce carbon emissions in the region.
