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 ... -
Water-Rock-Microbial Interactions in the hydrothermal spring of Puertecitos, Baja California, Mexico
(Elservier, 2017)The interaction of microorganisms with minerals under high temperature hydrothermal systems is a little studied process. This study was conducted in the hydrothermal spring at Puertecitos, Baja California, Mexico, formed ... -
Gravity Survey at the Ceboruco Volcano Area (Nayarit, Mexico): a 3-D Model of the Subsurface Structure
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2017)Ceboruco volcano (-104300 , 2170 , 2150 m asl) is located in the western portion of the trans-Mexican volcanic belt and NW extreme of the Tepic-Zacoalco rift zone, a structure composed of a series of NNW-trending en echelon ... -
Genesis and evolution of the Cerro Prieto Volcanic Complex, Baja California, Mexico
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2017)The Cerro Prieto Volcanic Complex (CPVC), located in northwestern Mexico, is the only surface manifestation of the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field, the third largest producer of geothermal energy in the world. This geothermal ... -
Splitting marine controlled-source electromagnetic responses into sea and subseafloor contributions: Grounding the air wave
(Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2017)We have found how the effects of the air wave in marine controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) methods gradually vanish in the sea for shallow waters, and how at the same time they gradually grow below the seafloor, in ... -
Stable 2D magnetotelluric strikes and impedances via the phase tensor and the quadratic equation
(Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2017)A combination of the magnetotelluric phase tensor and the quadratic algorithm provides a fast and simple solution to the problem of a 2D impedance tensor distorted by 3D electrogalvanic effects. The strike direction is ... -
Subsurface stratigraphy and its correlation with the surficial geology at Los Humeros geothermal field, eastern Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt
(Elservier, 2017)Los Humeros is one of the main Pleistocene silicic volcanic complexes and the third geothermal field in exploitation in Mexico. It is located in the eastern sector of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) and has a long ... -
Improved method for effective rock microporosity estimation using X-ray microtomography
(Elservier, 2017)Petrophysical analysis using X-ray microtomography provides key textural and compositional information, useful to investigate porous media characteristics of hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs. Several approaches, used ... -
Simultaneous Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Alkylphenols, Phthalate Esters and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Environmental Waters Based on Headspace-Solid Phase Microextraction Followed by Gas Chromatography - Tandem Mass Spectrometry
(OMICS International, 2017)In the present work, a sensitive, simple, and fast method with little sample handling has been developed for the determination of 34 semi-volatile organic xenobiotics from rain, sea and ground waters. The method is based ... -
Unraveling the dynamics of magmatic CO2 degassing at Mammoth Mountain, California
(Elservier, 2018)The accumulation of magmatic CO2 beneath low-permeability barriers may lead to the formation of CO2-rich gas reservoirs within volcanic systems. Such accumulation is often evidenced by high surface CO2 emissions that ... -
