Research Activities

1) Development of new algorithms for investigating physical properties of subsurface rocks (ref-1) and their validation by laboratory measurements (ref-2) and rock physics modeling (ref-3).
2) Estimation of Energy Return on Investment (EROI) which is defined as the ratio between the quantity of energy delivered to society by an energy system and the quantity of energy used directly and indirectly in that process (ref-4).Quantitative studies on the relationship between energy quality (EROI) and quality of life (QoL) (ref-5).
