Exploring the geothermal energy potential of volcanic systems

Chile has the largest geothermal resources worldwide, mostly associated with active volcanism. Theoretically, nearly the entire electrical power supply of the country could be provided from aready known deposits. The MultiGeoEx project investigated usage options in the Southern Volcanic Zone of Chile.

Measuring direct solar radiance and light reflected from snow in a matter of seconds

Radiance emitted by the sun undergoes significant changes and becomes spatially scattered as the result of various atmospheric processes, particularly clouds. Before the project got under way, these changes could only be measured in terms of angle of incidence and wavelength with the use of relatively slow measuring devices.
