Stefan Scheidler

Stefan Scheidler is a Lecturer and Research Assistant at the University of Basel, specifically within the Faculty of Humanities and Natural Sciences, Department of Environmental Sciences. Based in Basel, Switzerland at Bernoullistrasse 30, he contributes to both teaching and research activities in environmental sciences with a focus on practical applications of hydrogeological research.

Dr. Scheidler's research focuses on critical environmental challenges related to water resources and climate change. His work spans several interconnected areas including hydrogeology, groundwater management, geothermal energy systems, and climate change adaptation strategies. He investigates how heat transport in deep groundwater systems can be leveraged for geothermal energy exploitation, particularly in the Canton of Valais region of Switzerland. His research also addresses innovative approaches to managing alluvial aquifers under changing climate conditions, with emphasis on thermal exploitation of managed aquifer recharge and surface water systems. His work demonstrates how environmental science can provide practical solutions for regional water management challenges.

Analysis of Dr. Scheidler's recent publications reveals a strong focus on practical applications of environmental science to address climate-related challenges. His work demonstrates an interdisciplinary approach that bridges hydrogeology, thermal physics, and sustainable resource management. The recurring themes across his research include developing solutions for heat management in groundwater systems, adapting water resource management practices to climate change impacts, and exploring geothermal potential as part of sustainable energy strategies. His research has direct applications for regional water management authorities and contributes to broader scientific understanding of coupled hydrological-thermal systems.

Dr. Scheidler is actively involved in several research projects including "InnoGeoPot" (Innovative exploration methods for geothermal potential assessment and energy storage), where he serves as a Member (Category 1). He also contributes to projects addressing instabilities in the Muttenz-Pratteln area (Stage 2) and sustainable management of groundwater resources. These projects reflect his commitment to translating scientific research into practical solutions for environmental challenges facing the region. His collaborations with researchers like J. Epting demonstrate his integration within the environmental science research community at the University of Basel.
