Discovering geothermal supercritical fluids: a new frontier for seismic exploration

Seismic and Magneto-telluric Imaging for Geothermal Exploration at Jemez Pueblo in New Mexico

A shallow geothermal reservoir in the Pueblo of Jemez in New Mexico may indicate a commercialscale geothermal energy potential in the area. To explore the geothermal resource at Jemez Pueblo, seismic surveys are conducted along three lines for the purpose of imaging complex subsurface structures near the Indian Springs fault zone. A 3-D magneto-telluric (MT) survey is also carried out in the sa...

Joint Interpretation of Magnetotelluric and Seismic Models for Exploration of the Gross Schoenebeck Geothermal Site

Due to the non-uniqueness of the inverse problem, the interpretation of geophysical models in terms of geological units is not always straightforward. It is common to use a combination of different geophysical methods to obtain the distribution of independent physical properties over the area of interest in order to discriminate between the different lithologies or geologic units. This kind of ...

Electrodeposition from supercritical fluids.

Recent studies have shown that it is possible to electrodeposit a range of materials, such as Cu, Ag and Ge, from various supercritical fluids, including hydrofluorocarbons and mixtures of CO2 with suitable co-solvents. In this perspective we discuss the relatively new field of electrodeposition from supercritical fluids. The perspective focuses on some of the underlying physical chemistry and ...
