As one of the clean renewable energy, geothermal energy is very competitive. According to its genesis and exploration conditions, geothermal resources could be divided into two …
Heat flow and heat production data complement seismic information and provide strong constraints on crustal composition, thickness and evolution. They have helped understand …
The thermal structure of the lithosphere controls many properties and processes of Earth's crust. The total∼ 47-TW heat loss of Earth is key to understanding and modeling this thermal …
We propose a continental lithosphere heat production model based on the petrology of crust and mantle, heat production measurements of surface and xenolith samples, and tectono …

Abstract Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) is an essential approach to entrap heat from deep hot dry rock (HDR), a low-carbon and renewable energy. Understanding the long-term …
Abstract The Wenchuan earthquake Fault Scientific Drilling venture (WFSD) offers an interesting possibility for examining the faulting and thermal system of the Yingxiu-Beichuan …
Heat provides the energy that drives almost all geological phenomena and sets the temperature at which these phenomena operate. This book explains the key physical …
