IESE Geothermal Exploration and Monitoring Projects
The Institute of Earth Science and Engineering (IESE) functions as a key point of contact at The University of Auckland, New Zealand for the provision of geothermal-related research and development including geophysical exploration, borehole seismology, reservoir monitoring, and advanced modelling.
IESE has specialties in geophysical measurement and interpretation in support of basic and applied geological studies, geothermal geoscience and technology, volcano and earthquake hazards, and borehole geophysical instrumentation.
Currently, more than half of IESE’s research activities are associated with improving geothermal exploration success, reservoir development and modelling, and seismic monitoring instrumentation.
The Institute has conducted geothermal research projects in the Americas, the Southwest Pacific, Asia, Europe, East Africa, and the Middle East.
