3GDeep

Deep science for a safer, cleaner subsurface

flip to Discover what the “3G” stands for

3GDeep – our three core domains

Geomechanics – understanding how rocks and soils deform and fail under complex loading

Geoenergy – developing low‑carbon energy solutions in the deep subsurface

Georesources – ensuring responsible extraction and long‑term stewardship of underground resources

Meet our 3GDeep group

The Deep Earth Energy Research Laboratory, led by Professor Ranjith PG, brings together researchers working on geothermal energy, CO₂ geosequestration, hydrogen storage and the rock mechanics of the deep subsurface

Director of 3GDeep

Director

Professor Ranjith leads the Deep Earth Energy Research Laboratory, directing research into how the earth's deep subsurface can be engineered for cleaner energy; from stimulation methodologies for shale gas and depleted reservoirs to the long-term geological storage of carbon dioxide.
