How can fossil Geothermal System enhance Present Exploration?

Geothermal resource development faces a major obstacle: the expensive exploration process. Unsuccessful drilled wells can discourage interest and disrupt economic plans. Understanding the relationship between geologic structures and geothermal fluid flow is critical to successful exploration. Various methods, such as geochemistry, geophysics, structural analysis and modeling, aim to create a reliable model to guide exploration …[Read More]

Fagradalsfjall 2021 versus 2022: similarity and differences

The Icelandic eruptions of 2021 and 2022 originated in the Reykjanes peninsula, characterized by the Krýsuvík-Trölladyngja system, one of the five volcanic systems present along the peninsula. This peninsula is a leaky transform fault, characterized by episodic rifts and associated volcanism. The last two years have brought about some of the most momentous volcanic eruptions …[Read More]
