Role of hot springs’ hydrochemistry in Balneotherapy, Case Study: Fotoyeh and sanguyeh springs, western Hormozgan

Introduction: Hydrochemical properties of waters used in balneotherapy are very important, as they play a key role in success or failure of this kind of treatment. There are 30 mineral and hot spas in Hormozgan Province, Southern Iran, which are traditionally used for treating diseases. In this study, hydrochemical properties of Fotoyeh and Sanguyeh Springs, in western Hormozgan Province, are d...

Geologic Model of the Geothermal Anomaly at Pilgrim Hot Springs, Seward Peninsula, Alaska

Pilgrim Hot Springs has a known shallow geothermal reservoir with temperatures approaching 91 ̊C in the top 100 meters of the system that underlies the main hot springs area of 1.5 km. The deeper reservoir is less understood with similar temperatures at the basement surface 320 meters directly beneath the hot springs. The aspect of this research is to create a stratigraphic model and delineate p...

Vickers Hot Springs

Vickers Hot Springs is located near the rural Southern California town of Ojai, and local residents have long enjoyed soaking in the sulfuric pools. But as knowledge of the springs spread, the area saw increases in fights, traffic, burglaries, and drug use. In response, two residents purchased the land and committed to restore the property while allowing limited public access, subsequently gene...

Phage Communities in Hot Springs

Boiling thermal pools are unique ecosystems to study microbial ecology, biogeochemistry and evolution, because they are physically isolated from other ecosystems, they are relatively biologically simple, and they are among the most hostile environments known. The water column of boiling hot springs represents an extreme environment that has not been previously explored for viruses or microbes. ...
