Beneath the Surface: Groundwater, geothermal, and climate resilience
In this episode of The SAGES Climate Science Podcast, we take a deep dive into Scotland’s underground environment and explore how it can play a crucial role in climate resilience. Joining us are Dr. Andrew Minto, a Lecturer in Civil Engineering at Abertay University, and Brady Johnson, a Hydro Nation Scholar and PhD candidate at the University of Aberdeen, to share their expertise on groundwater, geothermal energy, and the future of water management in Scotland.We start by discussing Scotland’s water supply, which is commonly perceived as abundant. But is this always the case? Brady Johnson explores how climate change is affecting the availability of water for drinking and other uses, especially in areas and times of the year where water shortages are becoming more frequent. He also sheds light on the vital role that groundwater can play in building climate resilience and the regions in Scotland best suited for this resource.Dr. Andrew Minto takes us below the surface, into Scotland’s world-renowned geology, to explain the exciting potential of geothermal energy. Could Scotland's underground heat be the key to sustainable energy generation? Andrew discusses how specific parts of Scotland are well-positioned for geothermal projects and shares examples from around the world where this form of energy is already proving successful.We’ll also explore the impacts of these innovations on communities and how people can play a role in managing water and energy resources more sustainably.Tune in to discover the hidden power beneath our feet and how it could shape Scotland’s climate future!
