Closing date for applications:  • Location: Leipzig Master Thesis - Investigation of the impact of ATES systems on local groundwater microbiome
Underground thermal energy storage in aquifers (Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage, ATES) can make an important contribution to seasonal heat management in urban areas. The aim of the master thesis is to investigate the effects of ATES systems on the groundwater microbiome and on the local contamination of the aquifer by means of laboratory microcosm experiments.
