| Abstract |
Thermoluminescence (TL) techniques are well known as a dating method for geological and archaeological materials younger than approximately 1 Ma. Thermoluminescence is a thermally derived phenomena of crystals, with the character of thermoluminescence behaviour of minerals and /or rocks in geothermal area being affected by geothermal activity, in other words, by natural heating. Possibilities of thermoluminescence techniques for geothermal exploration are summarized, and a new approach for geological applications of thermoluminescence is described. |
