Unraveling the Evolution of Silicic Volcanism in a Distributed Volcanic Field: Insights From Harrat Khaybar, Western Saudi Arabia

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Distributed basaltic volcanic fields commonly host minor but significant silicic magmas, the origin of which remains debated. At Harrat Khaybar (western Saudi Arabia; ca. 1.7 Ma to present), volcanic activity erupted compositions range from alkali olivine basalt to trachyte and comendite.

Geologic remote sensing for geothermal exploration: A review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2014
Abstract This paper is a comprehensive review of the potential for remote sensing in exploring for geothermal resources. Temperature gradients in the earth crust are typically 25–30 °C per kilometer depth, however in active volcanic areas situated in subduction or rift zones gradients of up to 150 °C per kilometer depth can be reached.

Evaluation of geothermal prospects and the objectives of geothermal exploration

Geoexploration, 1970
Abstract Some of the basic considerations involved in the evaluation of geothermal prospects are reviewed. The elementary principles of the extraction of heat from geothermal reservoirs are discussed on the basis of an example. It is concluded that in order to sustain power generation in the 100 MW range geothermal reservoirs must have temperatures ...

WAGCoE Data Catalogue for Geothermal Exploration

2010 IEEE Sixth International Conference on e-Science, 2010
Most companies or governmental agencies in the Earth Science industry advocate a web interface to facilitate user access to their valuable data. However those interfaces are all different and make it difficult for any user willing to discover, search, access and use this data in an easy and standardised manner.

Exploration for Geothermal Energy

1981
The growth in importance of geothermal energy as an alternative to other energy resources in recent years has led to the development of new geophysical, geological and geochemical exploration techniques which are particularly suited to the problem. Often, geothermal reservoirs have little or no direct expression, and indirect exploration methods must ...
