This dataset provides point-shapefiles and geotiffs, related to the figures presented in (Frick et al., 2022a, 2022b). It covers most of northern Germany, with the boundaries defined by the extent of the North German Basin, which is part of the Central European Basin System.
The files contain information on the depth (m.b.s. = meter below surface), thickness, temperature, heat in place and heat storage potential of selected geological units and the formations therein. These data are an addendum to the data presented in (Frick et al., 2022a, 2022b), resolving 5 geological units and 9 formations. The data are presented as regularly spaced point-shapefiles, with a spacing of 1000 m.
The data were produced as part of the Helmholtz Climate Initiative (HICAM), which focuses on Net Zero 2050 (mitigation) and Adapting to Extreme Events (adaptation). As part of this initiative, estimates of the heat in place and heat storage potential of the subsurface play an important part for mitigation of fossil fuel bound emissions as they pose a promising alternative (geothermal energy). The data presented here, therefore give an overview of areas which might be suited for geothermal applications in the different geothermal target units and formations. We integrated the recently published TUNB Model (BGR et al., 2021) as well as available borehole data, data from the Sandsteinfazies and GeoPoNDD projects (Franz et al., 2018, 2015) and temperature data from two models (Agemar et al., 2014; Frick et al., 2021) the process of which will be described in the following.
Dieses Schwerpunktfoerderungsprojekt gilt der Reizwahrnehmung und den biologischen Wechselbeziehungen aquatischer Organismen unter terrestrischen Bedinungen sowie unter Schwerelosigkeit mit dem Ziel, kuenstliche Biophaeren herzustellen, sie zu analysieren, experimentell zu beeinflussen sowie zu modellieren. Der Grundlagenforschungsbereich a (Physiologie zellulaerer Schwereempfindung und -orientierung) untersucht Bedingungen der Gravirezeption an Einzellern und entwickelt einen Prototypen (Micropond) fuer die Langzeitregistrierung von Mikroorganismen. Der Anwendungsforschungsbereich b (Hardware) dient der Entwicklung der Aquarack-Laboratoriums in 4 Varianten: Standardsystem, Minimodul, Einzelkomponenten, 5-Komponenten-C.E.B.A.S. Der Grundlagenforschungsbereich c (artifizielle oekologische Systeme) studiert und manipuliert die Populationsdynamik der aquatischen Biosphaere. Der Grundlagenforschungsbereich d umfasst neben Einzelbeitraegen zum Aquarack (Reproduktionsbiologie, Skelett, Pflanzenphysiologie, Mikrobiologie) weitere nationale und internationale Kooperationen.
