Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of thermal conductivity and its spatial variability in igneous rocks from in situ density logging
TL;DR: In this article, a new empirical relationship between density and thermal conductivity for igneous rocks has been found, based on the rock forming processes which in turn generate typical mineral compositions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subsurface planning: Towards a common understanding of the subsurface as a multifunctional resource
Yevheniya Volchko,Jenny Norrman,Lars O. Ericsson,Kristina L. Nilsson,Anders Markstedt,Maria Öberg,Fredrik Mossmark,Nikolai Bobylev,Per Tengborg +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate what professionals with different backgrounds mean when using different terms related to the subsurface, and how professionals describe the sub-surface and its multiple resources, functions and services.
Journal ArticleDOI
DECOVALEX III BMT3/BENCHPAR WP4: The thermo-hydro-mechanical responses to a glacial cycle and their potential implications for deep geological disposal of nuclear fuel waste in a fractured crystalline rock mass
Tin Chan,R. Christiansson,Geoffrey Boulton,Lars O. Ericsson,Juha Hartikainen,Mark Jensen,D. Mas Ivars,Fw. Stanchell,P. Vistrand,Thomas Wallroth +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual site-scale (tens of kilometres) hydro-mechanical model was assembled based primarily on site-specific litho-structural, hydrogeological and geomechanical data from the Whiteshell Research Area in the Canadian Shield, with simplification and generalization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Framework for Value of Information Analysis in Rock Mass Characterization for Grouting Purposes
TL;DR: It was found that value of information analysis contributes to good structure in geological surveys when the geology is difficult to predict and when repeated updating is necessary.
Book ChapterDOI
Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (T-H-M) Impacts of Glaciation and Implications for Deep Geologic Disposal of Nuclear Waste
Geoffrey Boulton,Tin Chan,R. Christiansson,Lars O. Ericsson,Juha Hartikainen,Mark Jensen,Frank W. Stanchell,Thomas Wallroth +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of extreme climate change on the lithosphere down to depths at which deep repositories might be sited have been simulated using site-specific data by combining four models: a climate model provides the forcing function, and ice sheet, permafrost and coupled hydromechanical models are used to assess impacts.
