“…In the underground exploration, engineering or management industries, geological models are the basis for calculations, such as predictive fluid flow simulations and resource evaluations 1 , 3 – 5 . Therefore, geological models are currently commonly used in, among other domains: applications related to geotechnics 6 , hydrogeology 7 , 8 , seismic hazard assessments 9 , energy resources 10 , 11 (e.g. geothermal energy and hydrocarbons), and underground storage 12 (e.g.…”

An increasing number of cities are interested in deep geothermal energy in order to increase the share of renewable energies in their district heating networks. To reduce the risks related to deep geothermal energy operations, reliable digital models are needed: they make it possible to predict the depth of aquifers away from borehole locations, and their thermal and hydrological evolution by supporting detailed water and heat flow simulations. This paper presents a 3D geomodel developed for this purpose in the southern Paris Basin of France in the Orléans area. The 3D geomodel integrates various data such as reprocessed and interpreted seismic lines, well data, and a pre-existing larger-scale and lower-resolution 3D geological model. The resulting 3D geomodel gives a new and reliable representation of the main aquifers underlying the study area. Within the framework of the project, hydrological and thermal simulations were then performed based on this 3D geomodel. Other environmental investigations (e.g. CO2 storage) and teaching/communication activities could also benefit from the dataset.

“…The most popular topic was tunnelling, [53][54][55][56] underground spaces, [57][58][59] and geotechnical modelling. [60][61][62][63] Case studies for these topics were mostly done in developed countries such as the USA (e.g., Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Boston), Japan (Tokyo), Canada (e.g., Metro Toronto, Ontario, Saskatchewan), United Kingdom (London), The Netherland, Singapore, etc.…”

Discovering research trends of urban geology based on a bibliometric analysis

Urbanization contributes to the emerging urban areas across the world. The importance of geology to ensure sustainability, has led to many research publications in the urban geology. This paper aims to discover the research trends through a bibliometric analysis of articles indexed within the Scopus database from 1950 to 2018 on topics related to geology and urban. The analysis found a significant increase in publications during 1999-2016, especially after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami disaster. The next finding of this study is related to research interest clusters: engineering geological hazard investigation and risk assessment in the urban area (EGR); social geology and urban sustainability (SGS); and urban hydrology and water management (HGW). The EGR studies were mostly in underground engineering geology (geotechnics). In contrast, the least attention was given to the interaction between geology and land-use planning, due to the SGS issues (e.g., urban planning and land use suitability assessment). This study may serve as a platform for scholars to understand the current status and future directions of urban geology.

“…These are the most exploitable data because the borehole records are detailed and have a linear dense extend. All borehole data are evaluated and "cleaned", to minimize the number of errors that affect the quality of data (Dong et al, 2015). Finally, we created a database with elements of coordinates, elevation, project and use and depth, besides the geological and geotechnical data.…”
