[0002] As an important clean and renewable energy source, geothermal resources play a crucial role in the transformation of the energy structure. The outward transfer of heat from the Earth's interior is the primary source of geothermal resources, and therefore the thermal structure of the Earth's interior is a key factor influencing the distribution of geothermal resources. However, the Earth's internal geological structure is complex and varied, and traditional single geophysical inversion methods have significant limitations in interpreting the thermal structure. Therefore, accurately obtaining geothermal field parameters such as crustal heat generation rate, thermal conductivity, and temperature distribution is a key step in assessing the potential for geothermal resource development and has important geological significance for geothermal resource exploration.
[0003] Commonly used gravity exploration can obtain information on underground density distribution, but it is difficult to directly link it to heat conduction characteristics; magnetic exploration focuses on the analysis of underground magnetic structure and has a weak intrinsic connection with geothermal parameters; electromagnetic exploration is susceptible to electromagnetic interference and lacks accuracy in the inversion of deep geothermal parameters. Existing methods all have defects in quantifying parameter uncertainty, resulting in poor reliability of geothermal resource assessment results. In recent years, although multi-geophysical joint inversion and data-driven inversion technologies have developed, how to efficiently integrate multi-dimensional geophysical information under complex geological conditions, fully consider physical laws and parameter uncertainties in the inversion process, and the problem of low computational efficiency are still technical difficulties that need to be overcome in the field of geothermal exploration.
