Multi-purpose water reservoirs and dams play a major role for water and power supply, irrigation and flood protection in India. In order to ensure long-term operation and safety of the dams, adaptation planning, maintenance, repair and retrofitting are needed. DAMSAFE is a demonstration project sponsored by the Dutch Partners for Water program and supports decision making in a long-term integrated approach. Besides Royal Eijkelkamp the DAMSAFE consortium consists of the Dutch based research organisations Deltares,...
Climate change can lead to less rainfall. As a result of the ensuing drought, the risk of forest fires increases. Cathelijne Stoof, who is soil expert and PhD student at the chair group Land Degradation and Development, is studying the effect of fire on soils and hydrology. For the investigation, a Portuguese shrub catchment of 10 hectares was completely burned by controlled fire, the first experiment on this scale.
“Before, during and after the fire we took various measurements, such as precipitation,...
AltaRock Energy, Inc. actively manages over 40,000 acres of geothermal leases on the western flank of Newberry Volcano in central Oregon. The leases, held by Davenport Newberry Holdings, LLC. (DNH) and administered by the US Bureau of Land Management, represents a unique opportunity to test and develop Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) technologies in the field. In partnership with the US Department of Energy, AltaRock Energy has been carrying out the Newberry EGS Demonstration project. This project aims to bring...
In 2008 AltaRock Energy made an agreement with Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE:WY) to explore the potential for developing geothermal projects on 667,000 acres of land in California, Oregon, and Washington. After 3 years of exploration and evaluation, AltaRock exercised its option to lease the geothermal right to approximately 45,000 acres of the land with the best potential for geothermal development. These geothermal leases further AltaRock’s goal of developing EGS in a cost-effective manner in order to...
Physics Section Manager Dr. Fiona Turner will present at the Future Aluminium Forum 4.0, May 8-9, in Milan.
Dr Turner’s presentation, entitled Smart Aluminium Temperature Sensors for Industry 4.0 considers how AMETEK Land’s innovative SPOT AL EQS pyrometer, coupled with a smart actuator for automatic alignment, provides accurate temperature measurement in most current extrusion, quench and strip applications. Dr Turner will discuss how AMETEK Land is focusing its development efforts on facilitating...
