Volcanology and Geothermal Energy (Los Alamos Series in Basic and Applied Sciences): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Volcanology and Geothermal Energy (Los Alamos Series in Basic and Applied Sciences)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Most high-temperature geothermal resources develop in volcanic regions, but very few have been successfully explored and developed despite the ever-growing need for renewable energy resources. This is particularly true of the many developing countries that exist in volcanic regions with potential geothermal resources. Because exploration techniques, which must be adapted from the oil industry, are expensive and uncertain, economic growth in these countries remains contingent on the availability and cost of oil. Bridging the gap between academic geologists and drilling engineers, Volcanology and Geothermal Energy is a practical and thorough guide to planning and operating a successful exploration project. It describes the potential geothermal reservoirs associated with volcanoes and volcanic regions and uses recent advances in volcanology to offer many examples of how geological field data give evidence of the location, nature, and size of a geothermal resource.
