Energy is fundamental to many of the most
pressing issues facing us today affecting our well-being,
environment, economies and society. Royal Holloway seeks a
future of Living Sustainably with Transformative
Digital Technology. CERES, the Centre for
Energy and Resources, focuses on the energy and mineral
resources of the Earth and how these can be used
sustainably and for the benefit of humanity.  Renewable energy requires significant geological input (e.g. engineering geology underpinned by shallow geophysical surveys). CERES brings together skills in geophysics, bio-geochemistry, sedimentology, structural geology, fluid-flow and risk-analysis from researchers of the Department of Earth Sciences which has been a major UK center for research/teaching of Earth-resource exploitation since 1985.  Current research topics• Subsurface Energy Storage• Groundwater • Geothermal Energy • Reservoir properties in sedimentary basins • Fractures and faults • Solar Energy • Laboratory analogue modeling • Computer Modeling  |
