This research aims to identify and explain the formation mechanisms of a medium-low temperature geothermal resource in a low heat flow setting.
Borehole drilling to 350 m depth measuring temperature (52.5 °C)
Hydrochemical and isotopic geochemistry analyses
Controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotelluric (CSAMT) surveys
Geothermal water recharge predominantly from modern meteoric water from Mount Tai.
Characterization of geothermal water as SO₄·Cl-Na·Ca hydrochemical type due to water-rock interaction.
Estimated thermal reservoir temperature between 71–83 °C and inferred circulation depth of approximately 2 km.
