Christoph Bott

Dr. Christoph Bott is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Applied Geology, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany. His work focuses on thermal energy storage systems, environmental impact assessment, and infrastructure reuse in geo-energy contexts.

Education

• M.Sc. Geosciences, University of Bonn (2015–2017)
• B.Sc. Geosciences, University of Bonn (2012–2016)

Research Interests

Christoph Bott specializes in Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage (STES) in artificial basins, with emphasis on environmental impact assessment and infrastructure reuse. His research includes:

• Life cycle assessment of geo-energy systems
• Thermal interference between storage facilities and groundwater
• Adaptive management of borehole heat exchangers
• Recycling subsurface heat losses

Publications & Contributions

His recent work explores CO₂-neutral industrial energy systems, Bayesian uncertainty quantification in geothermal simulations, and multi-basin storage configurations. Publications span journals like Renewable Energy, Applied Thermal Engineering, and Energy, with fieldwork at sites such as the incampus lighthouse project in Aalborg.

Technical Affiliations

Collaborates with institutions including Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences and participates in international conferences (EGU, InterPore, Enerstock).
