BUMPS benefits from strong interdisciplinary links between various research groups and projects at Bristol Univerity and beyond:
- Bristol University Geophysics - BUMPS is based in the Bristol University Geophysics Group. Many techniques used in microseismic monitoring (e.g. array based location, source mechanism inversion, seismic anisotropy) have their genesis in global and regional seismology. Our links with the broader geophysics group provide fertile ground for the development and improvement of microseismic methods, using the latest advances in global methods.
- UK Unconventional Hydrocarbons - BUMPS was a key research provider to the UKUH consortium, an £8 million project funded by NERC to investigate the resource potential and potential environmental impacts of shale gas in the UK.
- Cabot Institute - The Cabot Institute at the University of Bristol carries out fundamental and responsive research on risks and uncertainty in a changing environment. Our links with the Cabot Institute allow us to position our research within the wider context of climate change and energy transition, as well as risk assessment during hydrcarbon extraction.
- Bristol CO2 Group - Microseismic monitoring is fast becoming an invaluable tool for monitoring CO2 injection for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). Our links with the Bristol CCS research group allow us to contribute our microseismic monitoring knowledge to the CCS industry.
- Oxford University Geophysics - BUMPS collaborates extensively with researchers in Oxford University's geophysics research group.
- Oxford Net Zero - BUMPS' research focusses on energy transition technologies such as CCS and geothermal. We collaborate with the Oxford Net Zero project to better understand the role(s) of these industries within the wider net zero agenda.
- SeisGreen - BUMPS is a research provider for the SeisGreen project - a NERC Large Grant consortium established to study the risks of induced seismicity associated with net zero energy technologies.
- SHARP - BUMPS is a research provider for the SHARP project, a consortium funded under the ERA-NET ACT-3 program. SHARP studies CO2 storage containment risk through the integration of subsurface stress models, rock mechanical failure and seismicity observations.
- DIGIMON - BUMPS was a research provider for the DIGIMON project, a consortium funded under the ERA-NET ACT-2 program. DIGIMON studied the use of novel technologies for subsurface monitoring of CO2 containment in the offshore environment.
