Sustainability of engineered fractured systems: An experimental study on hydro-mechanical propertiesKluge, C. (author)The Earth’s subsurface exhibits a high potential for generating and storing energy. Engineered fractured systems, for example geothermal or carbon storage reservoirs, highly depend on the capacity of rock to conduct and store fluids. Faults and fractures create the largest contrasts in flow in these reservoirs and can enhance the reservoir...doctoral thesis 2021
