Using construction and demolition waste materials to alleviate the negative effect of pavements on the urban heat island: A laboratory, field, and numerical study
In this study, construction and demolition waste (CDW) materials, including waste clay bricks, concrete, and glass, were used as aggregates of chip seal layers to enhance the reflectivity and...
The potential of salt-embedded basins for energy transition. The Estopanyà and Boix synclines (South-Central Pyrenees) as outcrop analogues of a geothermal reservoir
Salt-embedded basins and their sedimentary successions may play an important role in energy transition as geothermal reservoirs, due to the high thermal conductivity of some evaporites (halite) and...
Rock thermal conductivity and thermal inertia measurements under martian atmospheric pressures
The physical properties of rocks on planetary surfaces influence their bulk thermal conductivity (k) and thermal inertia (TI); however, there has been little work done to date to explore quantitative...
