Tidal tilt observations in the Krafla geothermal area in North Iceland

Creator:

Axelsson, Gudni

Abstract:

A brief tilt and strain survey was conducted in the Krafla-Namafjall area in the North of Iceland during August of 1979 in order to study the feasibility of applying solid earth tidal observations in the exploration of volcanic geothermal systems. The rationale of the survey was based on the expectation...

Hydrology and thermomechanics of liquid-dominated hydrothermal systems in Iceland

Creator:

Axelsson, Gudni

Abstract:

Low-temperature hydrothermal activity in Iceland is apparently mostly controlled by dikes and fractures. Conventional methods of production data analysis are not readily applicable in cases of heterogeneous/anisotropic fracture dominated hydrothermal systems. Moreover, the dikes and fractures may control the heat uptake mechanism of low-temperature activity. The free-surface response functions of...
