Geothermal Energy, Heat Exchange Systems and Energy Piles (ICE Themes)

focuses on topics from high temperature geothermal energy extraction, to lower temperature situations at ground surface and shallow depths. Providing broad international coverage, the chapters encompass field observations on sites in several countries as well as computational and laboratory studies. Ground conditions vary from hard rock to chalk, loess to London Clay. You can find out more detail about the content included in the co-editor, William Craig's blog.

Key features of this book include:

• international case histories on geothermal energy extraction
• coverage of geothermal resource exploration, characterisation and evaluation
• design and assessment of energy piles.

This book, which has been edited by two leading experts in the field, is an ideal resource for engineers and researchers seeking an overview of the latest research in this exciting area.
