[Considering the risk of climate change, the foreseeable shortage of fossil fuels and the increasing demand for energy, the development of new energy production methods based on renewable resources is urgent. Problems with many renewable resources, though, is their dependence on certain weather conditions and their insufficient ability to provide a certain baseload. A renewable resource that does not suffer from these shortcoming is the heat stored in the Earth’s crust which can be used in geothermal facilities. This chapter gives a short introduction into geothermics, describing the basic ideas, classifying different systems which are suitable for industrial applications and discussing some of the challenges they pose to the (geo-)scientific community. These challenges are then organized from the viewpoint of geomathematics into a column model. This book is concerned with questions risen by the fourth column; the modeling of the stress field in geothermal reservoirs. We give a brief overview on literature on rock mechanics and geomechanics, followed by an outline giving the content of subsequent chapters of this book.]
