Geothermal Resource Exploration and Development

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.

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 analysis, resource estimations, and performance metrics

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