PEATLANDS AND PEAT - SOURCE OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES For some time already it has been insufficient to consider peatlands merely as a source of peat for peat extraction, nor as a source for forestry or agriculture. We have come to an understanding of the importance of all the ecosystem services that peatland provides, especially in […]
In Europe, there are endless geologic features with significant scientific, educational, cultural, and/or aesthetic value. These areas are commonly well-known by local communities, but rarely incorporated into geological models. GeoConnect³d is a cross-disciplinary project, funded under the GeoERA geo-energy theme, with a focus on providing relevant geological context for anyone interested in geology at surface […]

The Policy Conference is the biggest European conference dedicated to renewables and efficient energy use in Europe. For the first time ever, the Policy Conference will be organised in a digital format, under […]
Groundwater is a crucial resource for humankind, as well as for natural ecosystems. Therefore, any subsurface use considers how it will affect shallow groundwater reserves. At least, that is how it should be, because these interactions are complex and uncertain. This problem is approached by two GeoERA projects. VoGERA is a groundwater project that looks […]
The presence of mining companies can heighten gender inequalities within the affected area. Mining companies not only have a responsibility to ‘do no harm’ in this respect, but also have an interest in enabling women and girls to fulfil their potential and have access to actively participate in socio-cultural life and in the development of […]
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and effected mining regions and cities in different ways. The mining sector, highly dependent on the commodity market, is especially exposed to external shocks, threatening jobs, income levels and living standards at the local level. Mining regions are exposed on two fronts by the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus […]
The causes and consequences of climate change have made us think of an energy transition where local geo-resources, including geothermal energy, come to the foreground. GeoConnect³d is a cross-disciplinary project, funded under the GeoERA geo-energy theme, with a focus on providing relevant geological context to allow for the identification of opportunities in the shallower and […]
Up to 70% of scientists will transition to careers outside of academia after their PhD. Transferable scientific skills and knowledge are becoming progressively valued in non-academic job sectors. However, navigating job opportunities and transitioning to different career paths can be difficult. This webinar will focus on the career paths of four scientists, from a background […]
The COVID19 pandemic created a severe economic crisis and has crashed the prices of oil and gas on global markets. Within this context, there is an opportunity to invest in the geothermal industry, as most of the exploration infrastructure and expertise in the oil & gas sector are also being used in geothermal. This webinar […]
In the previous sessions of the GeoConnect³d webinars it has been explored how a few specific uses of the subsurface can be discussed in a meaningful and understandable geological context. This has been done using two approaches developed in the GeoConnect³d project: the structural framework and geomanifestations. These make geological information visible in an intuitive […]
