“…Previous MT studies at Mount Meager defined a deep magma body beneath Mount Meager and its relationship to the potential geothermal system (Candy, 2001; Hanneson & Unsworth, 2022; Jones & Dumas, 1993). A more comprehensive audio‐magnetotelluric (AMT) data set was collected in 2019 (Craven et al., 2020) to study the structures in the top few hundred meters below the surface of the MMVC. Our recent analysis (Hormozzade Ghalati et al., 2021, 2022) correlated a model derived from the AMT data set to the lithology and hydrothermal alteration based on temperature and geological logs.…”

Our understanding of factors that control fluid flow pathways plays a vital role in numerous disciplines including oil, gas, and geothermal exploitation, and 𝐴𝐴 CO2 sequestration studies (Fox et al., 2015;Jansen, 2011;Lepillier et al., 2019;Li, 2020). Fluid flow pathways are often controlled by permeable and porous material created by geological features such as fractures, joints, and faults (Hanano, 2000). Fracture and fault patterns dictate the flow distribution in reservoirs (Brown et al., 1999) and contribute to the convection of heat within geothermal systems (Hanano, 2000). Therefore, the knowledge of fracture and fault distribution is of great importance in modeling the viability of both natural and engineered geothermal systems (Li, 2020;Miranda et al., 2018).

“…Geothermal systems require a set of MT data that completely covers the area of interest to reliably image the resistivity distribution in shallow depths. By employing new techniques and tools, a comprehensive AMT dataset was collected in 2019 for the first time focused on the surface to reservoir depths to address the gaps of earlier studies at The MMVC (Craven et al, 2020).…”

Geothermal systems are practical when the proper temperature settings, geological structures, and petrophysical characteristics exist near the ground surface, all of which should be evaluated to identify economically viable reserves. This dissertation presents procedures to examine (1) geological structures, (2) fluid flow pathways and their physical properties, and (3) subsurface temperature of geothermal systems by incorporating various geoscience datasets, including audio-magnetotelluric (AMT) data, rock physical properties, well logs, and fluid sample data.ix
