Investigation of radiogenic heat production in granites of the Goiás Tin Province, Central Brazil
This study defines the radiogenic heat production of A-type granites in the Goiás Tin Province (GTP), Central Brazil, using airborne gamma-ray spectrometry. Pedra Branca Massif and Serra Dourada Granite are rich in tin, rare earth elements, and they exhibit anomalous radiogenic heat (5.5–15 µW/m³). They are therefore classified as high heat production granites (HHPG). By integrating radiogenic heat data, RGB imaging, magnetometry, density model and geological information, we associated anomalous radiogenic heat with mineralized regions present in the granites found in the GTP. Our methodology was validated using geological information, density model and other granites worldwide. It proved to be effective for targeting HHP granites.
期刊介绍:
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.
