Geophysics for Geothermal Energy
Geophysics for Geothermal Energy
Session ID#: 119686
Session Description:
Geothermal energy is an emerging renewable energy source, and many states in the U.S. aim to achieve the goal of 100% renewable energy by 2050. Geophysics plays a crucial role in both geothermal energy exploration and geothermal production/fracturing monitoring. Ongoing projects using geophysical technologies for geothermal energy applications have posed many scientific questions that need answers from both academic and industrial perspectives. We solicit abstracts on geophysical technologies applied to geothermal energy, such as active surface seismic, vertical seismic profiling, distributed acoustic sensing, large-N array, induced seismicity, ambient seismic noise, gravity, magnetotellurics, electrical resistance tomography, InSAR, etc. We welcome submissions of abstracts on computational, laboratory experimental, and field-scale studies of geophysical technologies for geothermal energy applications.
