Research

Posted on by

Over the last few weeks, I have carried out some research into this technology and discovered there has been extensive research carried out by Professor Zoe Shipton from the University of Strathclyde and Dr Jennifer Dickie, a senior lecturer in environment geography at the University of Stirling. 

Their research titled Nurturing a New Industry Rooted in Geoscience: Stakeholder Insights on Minewater Thermal in Scotland can be found here:

I have made contact with Dr Dickie and Professor Shipton for some guidance and I’m very grateful to them as they have given me incredibly useful advice.

They pointed me to a Mine Remediation Authority (formerly Coal Authority) interactive map:

I am pleased to say that Fallin Community Garden is an area identified with having potential for minewater thermal.
