Subject: Tenerife International Training Course on Surface Geothermal Exploration
*******************************************************************************************************
Considering a career in Geothermal Exploration? Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias (INVOLCAN), Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) and GeoTenerife Ltd. are happy the announce the Tenerife International Training Course on Surface Geothermal Exploration which will be held in Tenerife from March 22 to March 28 2018. The course will be aimed at graduate students, but post-graduate and PhD students are welcome. It will also provide 2 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) from Universidad de La Laguna (ULL).
The aim of this course is to introduce graduate students to geophysical and geochemical methods used on surface geothermal exploration by alternating lectures with practical laboratory and field activities.
The course topics include different geophysical exploration methods aimed at determining the geometry (shape, size and depth) of the heat sources, reservoir and cap rock: electromagnetic/electric, gravity, magnetic, microseismicity, seismic tomography and thermal infrared remote sensing. Geochemical exploration relies mostly on sampling and analysis of water, steam and gas from the thermal manifestation in order to characterise the fluids, estimate equilibrium reservoir temperature, determine the origin, evaluate mixing scenarios, determine the suitability of the fluids for the intended use and locate recharge areas and direction of fluid flow. Additional geochemical studies involve soil diffuse degassing measurements aimed at identifying gas leakages that usually mimic active faults and structures.
Teaching will be in English from an international panel of experts from Spain, Italy, UK, Japan and Iceland).
The maximum number of students is 40.
