“…In Vietnam, a large number of geothermal springs (50 -75°C) appear along the fault system in NW-SE direction in the area of the Thao main channel and the Da tributary and to a lesser extent in the basin of the Lo tributary (Cuong et al, 2005;Quy, 1998). The Duman basin is a part of the East Coast Geothermal Zone (Kearey and Hongbing, 1993).…”

Ge/Si ratios indicating hydrothermal and sulfide weathering input to rivers of the Eastern Tibetan Plateau and Mt. Baekdu

Concentrations of dissolved silicon in river waters reflect a complex interplay among chemical weathering of primary silicate minerals, formation and weathering of secondary clay minerals, hydrothermal input and biological cycling (formation and dissolution of opal phytoliths and growth of diatoms). We applied the Ge/Si ratio to assess the different sources of dissolved Si in rivers hailing from the eastern Tibetan Plateau -the Salween, Mekong, Chang Jiang (Yangtze), Hong (Red) and Huang He (Yellow) -and from Mt. Baekdu -the Duman. Elevated riverine Ge/Si ratios were observed in arid regions with high geothermal activity in the Salween, Chang Jiang and Mt. Baekdu streams. In the Huang He and Hong River basins geothermal influence was not as pronounced, but weathering of sulfide-and coal-bearing minerals seemed to be responsible for the high Ge/Si ratios. In rivers where inputs from hydrothermal and sulfide weathering are minimal, our data mostly fall in the weathering-limited regime of high riverine Si concentrations and low Ge/Si ratios.

“…Geothermal energy has been known and exploited from ancient times in places as disparate as Roman Italy [1], pre-Columbian USA [2] and China [3]. However in modern times, since the first geothermally driven steam turbine was installed in Larderello a century ago, the production of electricity with geothermal energy has stolen much of the limelight from direct use applications -even while direct use applications now exceed 423,968 TJ per annum [4].…”

-Geothermal heat is a sustainable form of alternative energy, commonly associated with the production of electricity along tectonic plate boundaries and in volcanically active zones. Outside of these special regions however it is rare to find a geothermal gradient high enough to achieve pay back on projects for generating electricity. On the other hand regions containing sedimentary aquifers are far more common and these aquifers frequently have a sufficiently high temperature gradient to make direct use of the thermal energy attractive. Meanwhile highly permeable aquifers occurring at shallow depths are possible sources for cooling water or can be both heat sources and sinks when used in combination with heat pumps. We provide a case study for the use of thermally driven absorption chillers on the University of Western Australia campus in Perth and discuss two ongoing projects: one for the heating and cooling of the offices of the Australian Resources Research Council using a reversible heat pump and the other the climate control of the planned Australian International Gravitational Observatory.
