It uses geological surveys, geophysical exploration and geochemical testing to study the distribution and characteristics of underground resources, including seismic wave analysis, gravity field measurement, water chemical analysis, and mineral composition analysis. It conducts mineral resource exploration, infrastructure construction safety assessment, and geological disaster monitoring and prevention. Through the systematic analysis of underground thermal reservoirs, groundwater and mineral deposits, geological engineering provides the necessary technical support and theoretical basis for the development of renewable energy.
[0003] Among them, the geothermal resource favorable area prediction method uses geological, geophysical and geochemical data to identify geothermal resource areas with development potential through modeling and analysis, provide scientific guidance for geothermal energy development, and help engineers and scientific researchers accurately locate the optimal mining area of geothermal resources.
