Abstract The Molasse Basin is one of the most promising areas for deep geothermal exploitation in Germany and target horizon aquifer Upper Jurassic carbonates. Carbonate deposits can be very heterogeneous even over a small area due to diagenetic processes varying depositional environments. preferential targets carbonate are fault zones, reef facies karstified areas, since they expected act as h...

Abstract There are many successful geothermal projects that exploit the Upper Jurassic aquifer at 2–3 km depth in German Molasse Basin. However, up to now, only P-wave seismic exploration has been carried out. In an experiment Greater Munich area, we recorded S-waves were generated by conventional survey, using 3C receivers. From this, built a 3D volume of P- S-converted (PS) waves asymptotic c...

The map area includes the Big Bald Mountain Quadrangle and the western part of Tognini Spring Quadrangle. It is located south of Overland Pass in the southern Ruby Mountains and the southern Maverick Springs Range, about 60 miles (100 km) south-southeast of Elko, Nevada, and about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Ely, Nevada (figs. 1A, B). The map area, herein referred to as the Bald Mountain area...

Geostatistical modeling methods for deep-water depositional systems, which provide a framework to characterize spatial uncertainty, have generally focused on channel-levee-overbank-lobe models. However, these models do not fit all deepwater depositional settings. For example, irregular surface topography of subaqueous mass-transport-deposits (MTDs) played a primary role in controlling the depos...

We present the Kr-Kr derived exposure ages for H-chondrites which were recently investigated for their Cl-Ar ages. After demonstrating that our Kr-Kr ages are reliable and reproducible we find hints that Kr/Kr and Kr/Kr might depend on the relative concentrations on the target elements Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, and Nb. In addition, the Kr-Kr ages for the large L-chondrite Gold Basin indicate that the Kr-K...

Development of the gold mining industry is in first place associated with an increase mineral resource base, development promising deposits and improvement quality raw materials. At same time, experts have been noting a deterioration alluvial reserves over last years both Russia as whole Eastern Siberia particular. Therefore, purpose this research to analyze dynamics base Lena gold-bearing area...
