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...
متن کاملHydrogeochemistry of hydrothermal waters from Salams magma chamber: Case study of Isti Su hot spring, NW of Iran
The Isti Su hot spring is located in southeast of Salmas, in Western Azerbaijan, Iran. The area is a small part of Sanandaj-Sirjan geological zone which hosts many hot springs. The magma chamber of Salmas region is the main heat source of the hot springs in Isti Su area. Abundant rainfall and relatively long duration of snowfall as well as several deep faults in the area create the best conditi...
متن کاملRn- 222 Concentration and Gamma Dose Rate Measurements in the Vicinity of Hot Springs in Kerman Province, Southeastern, Iran.
Introduction: Radon-222 gas is a radioactive, colorless and odorless element that can cause lung cancer and stomach in humans with alpha-ray emissions. An important source of Radon-222 is the output water in springs, especially hot springs to emit ionision radiation. In this study, Rn-222 activity concentration and gamma dose rate levels in water sample of some selected hot spr...
متن کاملGamma Dose Rate Measurement and Dose Rate Calculation for Sensitive Organs in the Vicinity of Hot Springs in Kerman Province
Introduction: All of the people worldwide are exposed to low levels of radiation. Cancer induction and genetic disorders are among the hazards of low level exposure. In some cases, radiation close to hot springs is higher than normal areas due to a high concentration and the decay products of Ra-226. Given the use of hot springs by the general public because of their therapeutic p...
متن کاملApplication of remote sensing technology to geothermal exploration
Renewable energy exploration and development is currently enjoying new interest as the nation seeks to lessen its dependence on foreign oil sources. Geothermal energy is competitive in areas where high heat flow and crustal water circulation combine to provide a readily accessible resource. Nevada in particular has abundant potential for geothermal energy development. The effort at present with...
