Nathaniel Forbes Inskip

Nathaniel Forbes Inskip is an Assistant Professor at the The Lyell Centre within the Global Research Institutes at Heriot-Watt University. His research focuses on geomechanical and fluid flow processes in subsurface energy systems, with particular emphasis on CO2 storage, geothermal energy, and fracture network dynamics.

Key research areas include fracture roughness effects on fluid flow, chemical alteration impacts on fault stability, and induced seismicity management in energy transition contexts. He collaborates extensively on UN Sustainable Development Goal-related projects, particularly addressing climate action and affordable clean energy.

Recent work emphasizes CO2 leakage risk assessment, geothermal reservoir characterization, and the integration of numerical models with experimental data. His contributions span 20+ peer-reviewed articles since 2015, including influential studies on fracture mechanics and subsurface storage security.

Notable projects include datasets supporting computational methods for fracture permeability analysis and collaborative investigations into Cornwall's geothermal potential. No formal advisees are listed, though active participation in multi-institutional research networks is evident.
