Karst aquifers: IFPEN launches a research project in hydrogeology
On May 15, 2023, the kick-off meeting for the Karst project took place. This project aims to set up a multi-scale physical modeling framework for karst aquifers. This four-part project, which is backed by an ERC Synergy grant, will improve the modeling and prediction of the behavior of these systems during potentially dangerous extreme meteorological events (droughts and floods), as well as provide a deeper understanding of how they are formed.

Dual-porosity and dual-fracture model for fractured geothermal reservoir simulation
Geothermal energy production has been developing since the start of the 2000s, and it is becoming necessary to have access to more precise numerical models to simulate the various scenarios that may be encountered. A new model combining dual porosity and dual fracture is proposed.

Karsts: crucial systems for our future mobilizing high-level expertise
Karst formations are complex networks of underground passages resulting from the dissolution of rock, which can extend for hundreds of kilometers. Their reaction to climate change is crucial given their importance in freshwater supply, but also their role as a buffer against extreme weather events, which are set to become more frequent.
