Project Abstract
The development of geothermal resources will be important for Ireland to meet its legally binding climate and emission targets; however, the geothermal potential at depth is unknown. Determining our geothermal potential requires extensive knowledge of the deeper subsurface. This academic fellowship aims to generate a lithological map of Ireland�s full crust using new models to improve temperature maps at crustal depths across all of Ireland, helping to quantify Ireland�s deep-geothermal potential and reduce uncertainty.
