Abstract

Summary

A new subsurface mine water geothermal research facility, part of the UK Geoenergy Observatories, is being constructed in Glasgow. By reducing subsurface uncertainty, the project aims to encourage the widespread development of coal mine geothermal resources in areas close to former coalfield communities. In 2019, baseline and continuous monitoring data from the boreholes will start to become available via an online portal. This talk will describe the rationale for the research facility, the design, and summarise the planned data acquisition.
