Samenvatting:

This comprehensive guide explores geophysical methods used in geothermal energy exploration and assessment. It covers various techniques, including seismic reflection/refraction, electrical resistivity tomography, magnetotellurics, and gravity surveys, explaining their theoretical foundations and practical applications through detailed case studies. The text bridges theory and practice in geothermal resource exploration by providing a structured framework for selecting appropriate geophysical methods based on geological context.

Features of the the book:

• Provides comprehensive coverage of geophysical exploration techniques
• Offers insights into various geophysical techniques, including resistivity, seismic, and magnetotelluric methods
• Discusses geothermal project financing and risk assessment
• Focuses on economic feasibility and financing models for geothermal projects
• Includes case studies, numerical analyses, resource estimations, and performance metrics

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in geological engineering, geophysics, renewable energy, and other related areas.
