Peru is one of the countries in South America with greatest geothermal potential because it is located within the Pacific Ring of Fire, where the subduction process occurs between the Nazca and South American Plates. This ...

The Villarrica-Quetrupillán-Lanín volcanic chain is surrounded by > 20 hot springs, located on the flanks and in the valleys around the volcanos. The hot springs that are extensively used for spa purpose discharge thermal ...

The Andes Cordillera resulted from the interaction of the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. The subduction process occurring between both plates has controlled all geological evolution of such territory since ...

Besides temperature, mineralogy, residence time and dilution are crucial for assessing water-rock interaction intensity. The geothermal system at the Villarrica-Quetrupillan-Lanin volcanic chain, Southern Chile, is located ...

This research aims to explore public views and social attitudes toward the use of geothermal energy as a heating and electricity source in an area where the geothermal energy production technology has yet to be widely ...

This work aims to assess geothermal power potential in identified high enthalpy geothermal areas in the Chilean Andes, based on reservoir temperature and volume. In addition, we present a set of highly favorable geothermal ...

The reconstruction of the stratigraphical-structural framework and the hydrogeology of geothermal areas is fundamental for understanding the relationships between cap rocks, reservoir and circulation of geothermal fluids ...
