Hydrological constraints on the potential of enhanced geothermal systems in the ductile crust
Abstract Continental crust at temperatures > 400 °C and depths > 10–20 km normally deforms in a ductile manner, but can become brittle and permeable in response to changes in temperature or stress state induced by fluid injection. In this study, we quantify the theoretical power generation pot...
