Accessible high-temperature geothermal reservoirs are found in scarce places on Earth, while intermediate and low-temperature resources can be found in numerous places. A broad understanding of geology, (deep-seated) heat sources, reservoirs, and fluid pathways is needed in order to increase access to geothermal energy. The financial effort of drilling boreholes for geothermal energy companies is much higher than for fuel-based energy companies. Therefore, tailoring geophysical techniques for geothermal exploration and subsurface characterisation is crucial nowadays.

This session focuses on the use of geophysical techniques (seismology, geodesy, geoelectric, electromagnetic, gravity, etc.) for imaging and monitoring geothermal resources of any type, such as high- and low- temperature hydrothermal systems, hot dry rocks, super-critical fluids, and magmatic systems. We also welcome studies that analyse the impacts of geothermal energy production (e.g. changes in stress, strain, permeability, and induced seismicity), monitoring the evolution of the reservoirs (e.g. pressure, heat, steam fraction, chemical signature, groundwater, and crust), and how the geothermal systems respond to external environmental perturbations (air temperature, barometric pressure, rainfall, and snowfall) as well as extreme natural events (earthquakes, drought, flood, etc).

We look forward to receiving your contributions and thank you for your attention.

Sincerely yours, Session Conveners,
