Abstract Deep geothermal energy represents a key element of future renewable production due to its base load capability and the almost inexhaustible resource base. Especially with regard heat supply, this technology offers huge potential for carbon saving. One main targets projects in Central Europe is Upper Rhine Graben, which exhibits elevated subsurface temperatures reservoirs favorable hydr...

On 26 November 2019, an Mw = 6.4 earthquake struck the central-western part of Albania. Its impact comprises secondary environmental effects (EEE) and severe building damage within Periadriatic Tirana Depressions. EEE comprised mainly liquefaction phenomena in coastal, riverine, lagoonal sites earthquake-affected area. From evaluation all available earthquake-related data, it is concluded that ...

Kimberlites occur as dykes up to 3 m thick and isometric bodies in the southern explored part of a NE-SW trending Karoo graben across the Mozambique Belt in northern Mozambique. The kimberlites are reported along four NW-SE-trending zones, and one ENE-WSW-trending zone. The kimberlites are macrocrystic hypabyssal Group Ia kimberlites based on their mineralogy and whole rock geochemistry. The ki...

Introduction: Ius Chasma is a linear trough in western Valles Marineris, formed by horst and graben structures and mass wasting [e.g. 1-6]. Sulfates and other hydrated minerals are found in thin floor deposits, which differs from the thick sulfate-bearing Interior Layered Deposits (ILDs) found in the basinal chasmata, like Capri and Melas. Kieserite (MgSO4 · H2O), a polyhydrated sulfate (PHS), ...

Within the Ukrainian sector of Black Sea, Albian-Cenomanian rift faults formed three large basins, which consisted a system grabens and half-grabens. One sublatitude basins occupied modern Karkinit Trough, Krylov-Zmiiny Uplift, Gubkin Ridge Sulina Depression on Odesa Shelf. The second basin Tetyaev High, Sorokin Marine Continuation Crimean Folds and, apparently, Mountains. third extended from n...

Derived values of the thickness of the effective elastic lithosphere on Mars are converted to estimates of lithospheric thermal gradients and surface heat flow by finding the thickness of the elastic-plastic plate having the same bending moment and curvature, subject o assumed strain rates and temperature-dependent flow laws for crustal and mantle matedhal. Local thermal gradients and heat flow...
