Title: Geothermal Systems: Interdisciplinary Approaches for an Effective Exploration
Authors: Domenico Montanari, Matteo Lupi, Philippe Calcagno
Publication Date: 18 June 2019
Abstract: “The main goal of geothermal exploration is to identify favourable reservoirs that may be exploited for energy extraction. While drilling is the only direct method to access the subsurface structure of a given system (and its physical state), various techniques have been developed to investigate the targeted reservoir before drilling [1].”

Authors: Cabrera-Pérez, I., Soubestre, J., D’Auria, L., Barrancos, J., Martín-Lorenzo, A., Martínez van Dorth, D., D. Padilla, G., Przeor, M., M. Pérez N.
Publication Date: 09 August 2023
Abstract: The main objective of this work is to detect velocity anomalies potentially related to active geothermal reservoirs on La Palma island, by achieving a high-resolution seismic velocity model of the first few kilometres of the crust using Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT).

Author: Alcanie, M., Collignon, M., Moeyner, O., Lupi, M.
Publication Date: 18 April 2021
Abstract: The goal of the numerical study is to investigate temperature and pressure distribution at the depth that could be used to identify large-scale positive thermal anomalies.

Title: A nonlinear multiscale inversion approach for ambient noise tomography.
Author: Cabrera-Pérez, I., D’Auria, L., Soubestre, J., Barrancos, J., D Padilla, G., M Pérez N.
Publication Date: 04 December 2020
Abstract: In this work, we propose an innovative technique for ANT based on nonlinear multiscale inversions. Our method relies on a progressive increase in the model parametrization to reduce the nonlinearity of the inverse problem.
