Welcome to RMGE Research Group at University of Glasgow
We focus on rock mechanics & geomechanics research for sustainable infrastructure and earth resources
Our research combines an array of approaches, including laboratory and field experiments, computational modeling, and analytical solutions, to understand the mechanical behavior of rocks and fractures under geoenvironmental (e.g., geo-stress, high temperature, high pressure) and anthropogenic conditions (e.g., hydro-fracturing, human excavation). We recently put some emphasis on the application of machine learning in geosciences and geotechnics, as well as on the analysis of the coupled thermal–hydrological–mechanical–chemical (THMC) processes in fractured rocks and clay formations with applications for underground energy storage, nuclear waste disposal, and geothermal energy extraction.
