How can fossil Geothermal System enhance Present Exploration?

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 relia ...[Read More]

Geological TrIPS: The amazing fragments of oceanic crust treasured on the Greek island of Syros

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. Fortunately, subduction zones can be studied through their anci ...[Read More]
