Dear all, 

We would like to draw your attention to a Geothermal Session in Theme 10 Energy Resources at the Goldschmidt 2016  (Full description below). The conference is held in Yokohama in Japan between the 26 of June and the 1st of July 2016. Abstract deadline is the 26 February 2016. 

Session 10h: Geothermal of the Future: Geochemistry in Supercritical Conditions and New Techniques to Reveal Old Fluid Histories

Convenors: Isabelle Chambefort, Noriyoshi Tsuchiya, Greg Bignall, Dana Thomas, Jill McDermott, Esther Schwarzenbach

Keynote: Eric Sonnenthal (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab)  

In the last decade several world wide geothermal research and drilling projects targeted high enthalpy to supercritical conditions. Deep seated high temperature geothermal systems are the ultimate sustainable reservoirs. Results, missteps and lessons have been learnt from JBBP (Japan Beyond Brittle Project), IDDP (Iceland Deep Drilling Project) and other projects, relating to EGS. This session proposes to address results and to open discussion following research endeavors operated in the extreme high temperature to supercritical conditions. Case studies from the field, as well as experiment-based studies are welcome along with combined solubility, partitioning, and in-situ spectroscopy experiments, and geochemical or hydrological modelling of hydrothermal-magmatic processes. To gather geochemists interested in quantifying the timescales of geothermal systems, this session invites contributions that describe temporal variability over short to long timescales; work to constrain rates of reactions; or analyze the timing of hydrothermal processes, fossil and modern. We encourage diverse submissions that combine datasets and employ a range of tools, including field observations, fluid and heat flow realizations, reactive transport modeling, chemical and isotopic data, radiometric dating, and experimental approaches.
