Huairou, 20-28 June 2017
OGS Training Course: “Geothermal Energy Systems” at UCAS
The
international OGS training course 2017 on “Geothermal Energy Systems” was held
from 20-28.06.2017 in Huairou (northeast of Beijing) directed by JProf. SHAO
Haibing. The training course was hosted by the University of the Chinese
Academy of Sciences (UCAS) and organized by the Institute of Geology and
Geophysics (CAS-IGG) courtesy Prof. PANG Zhonghe. The training was based on the
OGS Tutorials (Geothermal Energy I-III, see links below) and addressed the
topics “Basics of Geothermal Processes” (by Olaf Kolditz), “Shallow Geothermal
Systems” (by Haibing Shao) and “Deep Geothermal Energy Systems” (by Franceso
Parisio). More than 40 participants from UCAS and various external institutions
attended the OGS training course.
Guangzhou, 19-22 September 2016

Leipzig, 29 August 2016 -- Research grant awarded to Haibing Shao by National Natural Science Foundation

Junior-Prof. Haibing Shao has been awarded a research grant from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NNSFC) in the amount of 24,000 EUR (180 000 RMB). The grant (Nr. 41628203) targets Chinese scientists working at foreign institutes to facilitate their academic exchange between Chinese institutions. As a jointly appointed Junior Professor by UFZ and TU Freiberg, Dr. Shao has been working on the numerical modelling of coupled subsurface processes in the context of shallow geothermal energy utilization. He has established very close ties with the Institute of Geology and Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGG-CAS). The funding will support him and his team members to visit Chinese institutions, give lectures, and attend international conferences.
