MSc Mining Engineering
Vilde Jensen

Oulu Mining School

Student

For her Master thesis, Vilde studied the effect of cooling on rock mechanical behavior in granitic rocks at 5 km depth through numerical simulation. The aim was to understand the effects of thermal stresses on deep well integrity and stability under long term and continuous heat extraction. Vilde defended her Master thesis in November 2020 and obtained the highest grade.

Her research was hosted by AFRY Finland with financial support from the Bern Economic Development Agency.
