Adjoint inversion of geothermal potential in Ireland assimilating surface heat flow, seismic velocity, and Curie depth featured image

Adjoint inversion of geothermal potential in Ireland assimilating surface heat flow, seismic velocity, and Curie depth

Temperature models for assessing geothermal potential are usually concerned with the upper 5 km of the crust. The configuration of deeper crustal lithologies, and the …

Uncertainty reduction of geothermal heat flux from assimilating seismic tomography and depth to Curie temperature

Surface heat flux is highly sensitive to small temperature fluctuations at varying timescales. The magnitude of these variations depend on the duration of climatic fluctuations and …
