Numerical modeling of cold magmatic CO2 flux measurements for the exploration of hidden geothermal systems
(AGU PUBLICATIONS, 2015)
The most accepted conceptual model to explain surface degassing of cold magmatic CO2 in volcanic‐geothermal systems involves the presence of a gas reservoir. In this study, numerical simulations using the TOUGH2‐ECO2N V2.0 ...
Geophysical modeling of La Primavera caldera and its relation to volcanology activity based on 3D susceptibility inversion and potential data analysis.
(Elsevier, 2019)
La Primavera (LP) is a rhyolitic caldera located in the western sector of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB). LP is located close to the triple point junction of the Chapala, Colima and Tepic-Zacoalco rifts. To understand ...
Geology of La Reforma caldera complex, Baja California, Mexico
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
A new geological map at 1:50,000 scale of La Reforma Caldera Complex has been produced applying modern survey methodologies to volcanic areas. This map aims to represent a reliable and objective tool to understand the ...
Geology of the late Pleistocene Tres Vírgenes Volcanic Complex, Baja California Sur (México)
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
The geological map of the Tres Vírgenes Volcanic Complex (TVVC) Baja California Sur, México consists of three northeast-southwest aligned stratovolcanoes named from older to younger, El Viejo, El Azufre, and La Virgen. The ...
Geophysical imaging of fluid circulation and its relation to the structural system of Cerritos Colorados geothermal field, La Primavera caldera (Mexico)
(Elsevier, 2019)
La Primavera volcanic caldera was formed 95 ky ago producing peralkaline volcanism. The intra-caldera faults are a consequence of the uplift as a result of the new magma accumulation. This accumulation below the caldera ...
Soil degassing at the Los Humeros geothermal field (Mexico)
(Elservier, 2018)
The Los Humeros geothermal field is the third most important producer of geothermal electricity (70 MW) in Mexico. Geothermal fluids are hosted in fractured andesitic lavas and mostly consist of high enthalpy steam with ...
Geological, hydrogeological, and geothermal factors associated to the origin of arsenic, fluoride, and groundwater temperature in a volcanic environment El Bajío Guanajuatense, Mexico
(Springer link, 2015)
Arsenic and fluoride groundwater concentrations over national standards for drinking water were measured in the regional aquifer of Juventino Rosas, Guanajuato State, Central Mexico. Also anomalous temperature occurs in ...
Heat flow and geothermal provinces in Mexico
(Elservier, 2019)
Definition of geothermal provinces is a key factor for regional exploration. Mexico’s geothermal potential is underdeveloped, and government policies have aimed to simplifying regulations and providing insurance to reduce ...
Eruptive chronology and tectonic context of the late Pleistocene Tres Vírgenes volcanic complex, Baja California Sur (México)
(Elservier, 2018)
Based on a detailed geological map and stratigraphy aided by new 230Th/238U and 206P/238U age determinations we established the eruptive chronology of the Tres Vírgenes Volcanic Complex (TVVC). The complex consists of three ...
Heat flow map and geothermal resources in Mexico
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2018)
Heat flow maps are a powerful tool for regional exploration of geothermal resources. Mexico is one of the main producers of geothermal energy and the search for undiscovered resources at a regional level should be based ...
