Chapter
The Science-Policy Interface of Subsurface Environmental Modelling
Modelling activities in science are not limited to the scientific community itself, but relate to and impact other domains of society. With this chapter, we conceptually explore matters of modelling at the sci...

Chapter
Hydraulic Fracturing
Hydraulic fracturing—fracking, for short—refers to the stimulation of rock via the injection of fluids, typically water with additives, aiming at increasing the rock’s permeability. For hydrocarbon-bearing roc...
