GFZ Thermal Petrophysics Lab – Data Report 2024-01: Thermal properties of the shaly Jurassic (Upper Toarcian) formation at the Tournemire underground research lab (Tournemire, France)
Ben Norden, Sven Fuchs, Robert Peksa
The thermal characterization of the clayey Jurassic (Upper Toarcian, ca. 180 My old) is contributing to the site characterization of the Tournemire Underground Research Lab (URL), located in Southern France. This URL is installed in a former railway tun-nel to better understand the physical processes resulting from thermal and hydrau-lic loading in a small fault zone in a highly consolidated shale formation (Bonnelye et al., 2023). At the Tournemire site, faults and fractures of different sizes extend from the surface (sedimentary cover) to the crystalline basement. At one specific gallery (Gallery East 03) installed in the former tunnel, thermally controlled …
