| Abstract | We have compiled detailed geophysical, hydraulic and geochamical data from numerous major liquid-dominated geothermal fields in order to develop a generalized hydrodynamic and geochemical model for typical geothermal systems which are found in sediment--, filled rift valleys. The location of these geothermal fields is determined by their tectonic framework and associated structures like spreading ridges, subduction zones, and continental rifts. |
