Distribution of the vertical displacement (uz and uz0, respectively) after one charging period at a the top of the reservoir (1195 m depth) and b the ground surface. Comparison of the displacement along the x-axis (at y = 0 m; dashed red lines in a and b) considering only poroelasticity (blue) and combining poro- and thermoelasticity (black) at the top of the reservoir (c) and the top of the model (ground surface; d). The different x-axis extents at reservoir depth (a and c) and the ground surface (b and d) correspond to the different scales of the involved physical processes at different depths
