Geological Studies

Iceland GeoSurvey´s geologists produce detailed maps of potential geothermal resource areas, covering tectonic and stratigraphic features, surface petrology, mineralogy, and lithology of the resource area. Features of particular interest are fracture zones, which may provide flow paths for the geothermal fluid.
