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]

Geological TrIPS: The amazing fragments of oceanic crust treasured on the Greek island of Syros
Geologists are often fascinated by the processes (and their products) taking place at the sea. Perhaps the fact that we do not have easy access to most of these processes is what puzzles us as geoscientists. Subduction can be considered as one of these “mysterious” processes for which several mechanisms remain to be better understood. …[Read More]

The role of citizenship in geosciences
When international scientists from countries with a very low gross domestic product (GDP) get together at the proverbial water-cooler, we don’t talk about the weather, we talk about immigration. The conversation topics can vary between navigating a new immigration system due to an upcoming move, issues with our institution’s international office or wondering whether we …[Read More]
