In the frame of Integrated Method for Advanced Geothermal Exploration (IMAGE) Project, a reliable exploration and resource assessment workflow was implemented on basis an integrated multidisciplinary approach. Our study addressed to better understanding thermal structure deepest part Larderello geothermal field (Southern Tuscany, Italy) by integrating structural, geological, geochemical, geochronological, petrological geophysical data. With aim characterize reservoir located nearby important...
This paper examines the distribution and chemical properties of beached plastic pellets along Ionian Tyrrhenian coasts Southern Italy. Three locations have been sampled: Agnone Bagni (SR) Paradiso (ME) on coast Sicily, Baia del Tono in Milazzo Sicilian coast, Pizzo Calabro (VV) Calabria coast. Variations shape, size, compactness, color, other physical features, correlated with residence times transport, has highlighted. Raman spectroscopy, used a portable configuration, enabled rapid...
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> We revised the concept of convective, intrusive geothermal plays, considering that tectonic setting is not, in our opinion, a discriminant parameter suitable for classification. analysed and compared four case studies: (i) Larderello (Italy), (ii) Mt Amiata (iii) The Geysers (USA) (iv) Kizildere (Turkey). settings these systems are different matter debate, so it hard to use this parameter, results classification ambiguous. suggest based on age...
We exploit the concept of geothermal favourability, widely used for hydrothermal and EGS systems, to present an innovative methodology assessing geopressured-geothermal resources occurring in terrigenous units sedimentary basin plays. Geopressured-geothermal systems are unconventional resource power trigeneration exploiting three forms energy from hydrocarbons, fluids, well-head overpressure. This paper is intended be a practical analytical framework systematic integration relevant data...
Sicily hosts many natural manifestations that include thermal waters, gas discharges and mud volcanoes. Due to the significant geodynamic geological differences, fluid along a NE-WS–oriented transect run from Peloritani Mts. Sciacca Plain shows large variability in water chemical isotopic compositions. The studied waters are characterized by Ca-HCO3, Ca(Mg)-SO4, Ca-Cl Na-Cl compositions produced distinct geochemical processes such as water-rock-gas interactions, mixing between deep shallow...
This paper explores the distribution and chemical properties of marine plastic pellets collected from beaches along Ionian Tyrrhenian coasts Southern Italy. Pellets were sampled four locations: Agnone Bagni (SR) Paradiso (ME) on coast Sicily, Baia del Tono in Milazzo Sicilian coast, Pizzo Calabro (VV) Calabria coast. These exhibit variations shape, size, compactness, color, which correlate with their material composition. Raman spectroscopy was employed for compound identification, principal...
