ORIGIN OF WATER IN THE MUTNOVSKY GEOTHERMAL FIELD: AN OXYGEN (18O) AND HYDROGEN (D) STUDY

Abstract

Isotopic analyses of fluids from the wells drilled in the Mutnovsky geothermal field revealed that the water of a melting glacier in the crater of Mutnovsky Volcano might be a source of water supply to the Dachnyi and Verkhne-Mutnovsky reservoirs of the geothermal field.
