Geothermics

Aims & Scope

Geothermics is an international journal devoted to the research and development of geothermal energy.

The International Board of Editors of Geothermics, which comprises specialists in the various aspects of geothermal resources, exploration and development, guarantees the balanced, comprehensive view of scientific and technological developments in this promising energy field.

It promulgates the state of the art and science of geothermal energy, its exploration and exploitation through a regular exchange of information from all parts of the world.

The journal publishes articles dealing with the theory, exploration techniques and all aspects of the utilization of geothermal resources.

Geothermics serves as the scientific house, or exchange medium, through which the growing community of geothermal specialists can provide and receive information.
