IRETHERM is an interdisciplinary project connecting academia and industry in order to foster research related to the development of geothermal energy in Ireland. After five years of work on a variety of targets in Ireland, employing and developing tools in many geoscientific scientific disciplines, this project is coming to its end.
This workshop was meant not only to present work done in this project, but also to point out research needs, and collect ideas for the future. We thank all participants for the lively and constructive discussion.
Time:
Friday, April 1, 2016, 9:00 – 18:30
Venue:
Lecture Theatre Geological Survey of Ireland Beggars Bush Haddington Road Dublin
Agenda:
9:00 Registration & Coffee 9:30 – 11:00 Iretherm contributions I (Convener N. Willmot Noller, UCD)
The aim of this discussion was to define the areas of research that are important for the future development and use of geothermal energy in Ireland and elsewhere. The work in IRETHERM was focused at the very early stage of exploration for usable geothermal resources, and has produced many valuable results. However, there is still a large need for further research. This surely implies the improvement of geoscientific tools, including the development of methods which allow a better estimation of subsurface properties using all available data or constraints, together with the characterization of the uncertainty of the resulting models, including non-uniqueness and spatial resolution. Even more important is the necessity of generating or accessing adequate data for these challenging problems. Public affordable access to existing data, as well as substantial funding of research aimed at this goal will be necessary in order to allow geothermal energy to play a role in the decarbonisation process of Ireland in the future. Geothermal energy also has a problem concerning the lack of a legal basis, education, and public perception.

Earthquake swarm began this morning close to Fagradalsfjall. An M5.7 earthq. occurred at 10:05 many aftershocks followed. Info will be updated when activity has been reviewed further. Activity is within the Reykjanes peninsula. Other locations of large earthquakes are unreliable. Retweeted by
