LIAG strengthens and extends its scientific cooperation in the research field of geothermal energy utilization with various Latin American universities, research institutes and state energy suppliers. A memorandum of understanding has already been signed with the Universidad de Sancti Spirítus José Martí Pérez, Cuba at the beginning of the year. A similar agreement with the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María in Valparaíso, Chile is nearly completed.

The sustainable use of water resources is a particular challenge in coastal regions worldwide. Salinisation can endanger the groundwater and thus the drinking water supply. For a long-term study of the freshwater-saltwater boundary in the subsurface, LIAG employees recently installed a vertical electrode chain in the area close to the Ems-Jade Canal at a depth of about 30-50 m. With this measuring system, physical parameters are recorded daily and evaluated as part of the go-CAM project.
