Investigation Of Crustal Structure Of Turkey By Means Of Gravity Data, Selim Arslan, Uğur Akin, Atakan Alaca
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
During this work, the regional gravity data acquired earlier were used and in order to investigate the relations between geology - tectonics and elevation, isostatic map of Turkey, free air anomaly map and Bouguer anomaly maps were obtained, and comparisons with respect to elevations were carried out. For the thickness of the earth crust T 0 32 - 0.08g relation was used. The best relation was obtained from Bouguer anomaly with +0.65 coefficient; the relation function was obtained as Y = - 72E + 7.77. Thickness of the crust of Turkey is estimated to be 31.4 km where it is …
Seismicity Associated With Geothermal Systems, Randi Walters
Seismicity Associated With Geothermal Systems, Randi Walters
McNair Scholars Research Journal
Studying natural and induced seismicity associated with geothermal systems can provide information regarding the location and magnitude of hydraulic fracturing. Understanding the fracture system can aid geothermal exploration. In addition, seismicity can affect the output of a geothermal reservoir, and potentially be a seismic hazard to the surrounding area. This study focuses on two geothermal systems: the Raft River Geothermal System (RRGS) in southern Idaho and the Mt. Princeton Geothermal System (MPGS) in central Colorado. The seismic data analyzed for the RRGS is from the broadband sensors that are part of the EarthScope Project’s Transportable Array (TA), while the seismic …
