Journal ArticleDOI
The geometry and emplacement of conical sandstone intrusions
TL;DR: In this article, two geometrical end members are recognized and defined: "apical cones" and "flat-based bowls" and a growth model for these end-member geometries is presented, drawing on existing theory for igneous sill emplacement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping shallow urban groundwater temperatures, a case study from Cardiff, UK
TL;DR: In this paper, the first city-wide map of shallow groundwater temperatures in the UK was created, which can be used both to support development of ground source heating and to act as a detailed baseline from which to measure change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Groundwater heat pump feasibility in shallow urban aquifers: Experience from Cardiff, UK
David Boon,Gareth Farr,Corinna Abesser,Ashley M. Patton,David R. James,David I. Schofield,David G. Tucker +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that large parts of the aquifer can sustain shallow open loop ground source heat pump systems, as long as the local ground conditions support the required groundwater abstraction and re-injection rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishing an urban geo-observatory to support sustainable development of shallow subsurface heat recovery and storage
Ashley M. Patton,Gareth Farr,David Boon,David R. James,Bernie Williams,L.R. James,Rhian Kendall,S. Thorpe,Gareth Harcombe,David I. Schofield,A. Holden,Debbie White +11 more
TL;DR: The Cardiff Geo-Observatory as discussed by the authors measured temperature in a Quaternary aged sand and gravel aquifer in 61 boreholes and at a pilot shallow open-loop ground source heating system.
Shallow groundwater temperatures and the urban heat island effect: the first U.K. city-wide geothermal map to support development of ground source heating systems strategy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first U.K. city-wide heat map to support the development of ground source heating and also sought to describe groundwater temperature variation with lithology and estimate the available thermal energy under the city.
