Use of cold waters geochemistry as a geothermal prospecting tool for hidden hydrothermal systems in Réunion Island

Abstract Most untapped high-enthalpy geothermal resources are blind, meaning lacking surface evidence of their existence. The first step in their discovery is to find evidence of hydrothermal activity. Here we apply an approach based on the geochemistry of cold waters, which allowed us to identify e...
