| Abstract | Curie point survey was performed to evaluate the deep heat source distributions, and the nationwide Curie point depth map was made as the final product. Comparison between the Curie point depth map and the existing geological and geophysical data supports the validity of the estimated Curie point depths. The Curie point depths were utilized for mapping of the geothermal high potential areas together with the depths to the gravity basement, the lineament density map derived from SAR images and other data such a geology, hot springs. |
