Wrapping up a fantastic day of magma-energy-science at the #KMTsymposium2024 our Yan Lavallée presents the state of the art on #magma vesiculation as part of his @ERC_Research project MODERATE towards the goals of the @KMT_Project

Bright and early, Ana Martinez Garcia, PhD candidate on the IMPROVE project @UoBEarthScience presents her work on crustal density for the last day at the #KMTsymposium2024 here at @LMU_Muenchen

This afternoon at the #KMTsymposium2024 we have more speakers from our research group at @LMU_Muenchen - kicking off with Marize Muniz da Silva on the storage conditions of the rhyolitic magma at Krafla caldera

This may be our largest group photo yet!
📸 More than 140 participants here @LMU_Muenchen for the Krafla Magma Testbed inaugural symposium, where we discuss the prospects of #Magma #Energy under the theme “Together, toward a greener and safer future” for the @KMT_Project

Our Anthony Lamur @volc_anthony shows the effect of multiple fractures on permeability in different lithologies from Krafla caldera at the #KMTsymposium2024 thinking about implications for (near-) magma energy extraction 🪨 💦 ⚡️
Building on @RonSukiRon’s presentation, Anthony Lamur from @LMU_Volc group sheds further light on the impact of fracture generation on fluid flow in the #Krafla #geothermal reservoir.

The second of our LMU volcanology speakers at the #KMTsymposium2024 today was Jackie Kendrick @RonSukiRon who was showcasing >10 years work on the mechanical properties of rocks from Krafla caldera 🪨 🔨 🌋
Engaging talk by Jackie Kendrick from @LMU_Volc on mechanical behaviour of #geothermal reservoir rocks at #Krafla, and the importance of better constraining thermal properties of the Krafla system and in-situ sampling.

Fractures control subsurface fluid flow. Anthony Lamur of @LMU_Volc presented important new experimental and modelling results to explore fracture influence on permeability to the @KMT_Project symposium.

Understanding the mechanical behaviour of geothermal reservoir rocks underpins the whole @KMT_Project. Top presentation from @RonSukiRon showcasing PhD work by Gudjón Eggertsson and more. Conclusion: we must retrieve deep samples from close to the 2.1 km magma body!

Fossil, dissected volcanic systems provide key insights into the nature of active magma bodies including #Krafla rhyolite. Great @KMT_Project symposium talk from @inthevolcano shares new evidence from eastern Iceland....work led by Emma Rhodes at @UU_University 👍

Exciting progress at @KMT_Project symposium: insightful analysis of IDDP-1 drilling parameters from Marlene Villeneuve that provides key clues into the mysterious roof of the rhyolitic intrusion intercepted by the 2009 #Krafla borehole.

Our Prof. Yan Lavallée has been involved in the development of the KMT science plans since @KMT_Project’s inception 10 years ago. Here he presents them to the community in the KMT symposium “Together, toward a greener and safer future” here at @LMU_Muenchen
“KMT-I and KMT-II will form a multi-borehole facility in Krafla - the first well will be about monitoring and the second about experimentation. Both will provide valuable data on the properties and behaviour of magma” Yan Lavallée @LMU_Volc

We are back after a busy and constructive @COP28_UAE . We were proud to represent the ground-breaking @KMT_Project at #COP28; it holds enormous potential in the production of #sustainable energy, and is immensely relevant to the global fight against #ClimateChange

GEORG attended the #ActionSummit last Sunday at #COP28
What a great start to GEORG's participation at COP. Moving dialogue with emphasis on acting quickly. The time for solutions has come.
