Definition of geothermal provinces is a key factor for regional exploration. Mexico’s potential underdeveloped, and government policies have aimed to simplifying regulations providing insurance reduce the risk support developers. Additionally, resources inventories were made available encourage further development. Here, correlation heat flow measurements, recent thermal events tectonic-geological setting used define 11 that may serve as guide identify areas with exploitation/utilization...
The use of satellite images during the early stages mineral exploration has been very successful in pointing out presence hydrothermally altered rocks and main structural features that can be related with ore deposition. Here we compare several methods used for spectral enhancement order to detect containing hydrothermal alteration an area western section Transmexican Volcanic Belt, where recent unaltered volcanic sedimentary Tertiary age outcrop. study is covered by different types...
Geothermal resource evaluation was accomplished for the Baja California Peninsula hydrothermal systems. Numerous geothermal areas were identified along eastern coast of Peninsula, which are related with Gulf opening process. The western presents activity in northern part regional faults like Agua Blanca Fault nearby Ensenada. southern also has abundant resources local grabens. heat place five where geophysical data available to estimate reservoir volume. minimum calculated potential is more...
The prevailing tectonic setting in the Gulf California suggests presence of an undetermined number short spreading centres with associated hydrothermal systems. However, to date, active seafloor phenomena have been documented only three eight tectonically basins. Here we report heat flow values as high 15,436 mW m−2 two northernmost basins California, providing evidence intense activity transition from continental rifting spreading. mean for Wagner and Consag area is 1,875 m−2, more than 15...
Cinnabar deposition was observed in submarine hydrothermal vents at about 10 m depth the Punta Mita area western Mexico. The occur basaltic rocks and discharge a mixture of liquid gas temperature 85°C. Tertiary ignimbrites, lava flows, mafic intrusions crop out Mita; however, present there is no volcanic activity area, do not possess characteristics compatible with magmatic heat source. water discharged by more dilute than seawater, precious base metal contents are below detection limits....
Heat flow maps are a powerful tool for regional exploration of geothermal resources. Mexico is one the main producers ofgeothermal energy and search undiscovered resources at level should be based on heat values. Here, we

Changes in legislation have opened the Mexican geothermal resources for exploitation to private companies; therefore evaluation of known areas has a high priority plan further and possibly expansion well fields. The calculation remaining productivity fields currently can be achieved with less uncertainty using parameters obtained from production injection wells, as efficiency installed plants. No information about previous volumetric is available presently being exploited, there possibility...
Uncontrolled urbanization is one of the most important problems our changing world. Land use change evaluation an tool in planning further development populated areas. This paper reports results investigation on integration remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) to detect urban growth. Here, we attempt determine area growth SW part Mexico City by using multi‐temporal MSS NALC images (1973), Landsat TM (1992) a 2000 ETM+ image. Techniques detection were employed identify...
Here we present the first study of pyrite textures observed in particulate matter from an active shallow submarine vent site, which is characterized by large spatial and temporal variations physico-chemical conditions caused a combination geochemical processes microbial activity. Morphologic characterization crystals suspended discharged fluid system near Punta Mita, Nayarit, Mexico, showed diverse crystal morphologies aggregates; well-defined framboids are only within deposits finelayered...
