Junior-Prof. Dr. Haibing Shao leads the work group Geothermal Systems Analysis ( https://webmail.springer-sbm.com/owa/redir.aspx?SURL=9Om38Sp3h39lFx5a1p_-9BUiz0RjHJ6aiZPHSVFMK5hk1t-eCX3UCGgAdAB0AHAAcwA6AC8ALwB3AHcAdwAuAHUAZgB6AC4AZABlAC8AaQBuAGQAZQB4AC4AcABoAHAAPwBlAG4APQAzADcANAA4ADIA&URL=https%3a%2f%2fwww.ufz.de%2findex.php%3fen%3d37482) in the Department of Environmental Informatics at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ. He is also jointly appointed as a Junior Professor at the Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg. His research interests are the numerical modelling of coupled processes in shallow and deep geothermal reservoirs. As a senior developer, he has been working with the open-source scientific software OpenGeoSys (www.opengeosys.org) for more than 10 years. He studied environmental engineering at the Tongji University in Shanghai (China) and obtained his Master's degree at the University of Tübingen. In 2010, he earned his PhD title from TU Dresden, and since then working as a staff scientist at the UFZ.  Philipp Hein is at the time of publication

enrolled as a PhD student at Technische Universität Dresden and was working as a research assistant at University of Applied Sciences Leipzig as well as a guest scientist at the Department of Environmental Informatics of the Helmholtz Centre of Environmental Research - UFZ Leipzig. His research interests are the sustainable and efficient utilization of shallow geothermal energy and numerical modeling of borehole heat exchanger coupled ground source heat pump systems. Philipp Hein studied mechanical engineering and received a Bachelor and Master degree at the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf. Dr. Agnes Sachse is a postdoctoral researcher

at the Department of Environmental Informatics at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ in Leipzig, Germany. She studied Geography, Meteorology and Geology and received her doctoral degree in

"This book was intended principally for graduate students and applied scientists who deal with geothermal system analysis, according to the authors, and brilliantly fulfills this objective. Of course it is also an appreciated source of information for professional geoscientists wishing to improve their knowledge in the geothermal processes numerical modeling, including convection and conduction. ... Geoenergy Modeling II (Shallow Geothermal Systems) will be extremely valuable in supporting geothermal modeling training courses. Indeed it is a real knowledge transfer book."
