Lecturer: Adjunct Prof. Peter Malin, Advanced Seismic Instrumentation and Research LLC, Carbondale,Colorado & Duke University, North Carolina, USAThe short course discusses fractures, fracture properties and stress field with the special emphasis ondevelopment geothermal energy resources, and applications of borehole seismology in mapping fracturesgenerated with hydraulic fracturing. Flow in fractured medium is the most important phenomenoncontrolling the success or failure of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). The short course comprisesclasses and discussions aimed for post-graduate students, advanced undergraduates and professionalstaking an interest in problems of fluid flow in crystalline rock, hydraulic permeability of fractured rock,geothermal energy, mapping of fracture systems with seismic methods, design of borehole observatoriesand seismicity induced with hydraulic fracturing.
