Announcing SSA session

De-risking Deep Geothermal Projects: Geophysical Monitoring and Forecast Modeling Advances

Co-conveners: Federica Lanza, Kristine Pankow, David Eaton, Nori Nakata, Ryan Schulz, Annemarie Mutendam-Bos

We seek contributions from EGS projects and field test sites that focus on geophysical technologies applied to geothermal energy, such as real-time monitoring and characterization of induced seismicity, distributed acoustic sensing, large-N array, active surface seismic, vertical seismic profiling, seismic imaging of faults and fracture zones, laboratory experiments and novel instrumentation. We also welcome submission of abstracts on modeling studies at all scales, seismicity forecasting models, hazard and risk analysis studies as well as presentations dealing with good-practice guidelines and risk assessment procedures that would help in reducing commercial costs and enhancing the safety of future geothermal projects.

Please consider submitting your abstract to our session before the deadline on 11 January 2023, at 5 p.m Pacific. 

Detailed information on how to submit an abstract can be found at: https://meetings.seismosoc.org/submit/

 

Hope to see you in San Juan!
