Hi,

Here is a paper that might be of interest:

Good luck

T.

it is for oceanic crust though ...

hi and thanks! yes, continents are complicated, and I am compiling all available geothermal reservoir reports in rifts and other places, mines, tunnels...

Its hard to search for this because often in title or abstract of paper they dont put hydrothermal alteration even if they map it, or a lot of work is geochemical but does not show a distribution in space, so the geothermal fields and mines seem to be the best sources, although these are in unique environments themselves

I will write a paper and sort this out and post here when done, and link to website at McGill once I compile data ;)

Hey,

yeah it is complicated problems indeed!

I started to look at it.

Here is others papers that you might be interested in, not in mines but on land study:

yeah, along the lines of Curewitz and Karson 1997, thanks for this link, somehow I didnt read it before, that seems good

I am trying to get data from Japan on thermal springs and faults and repeat that too, but with 27000 springs

paper by Fairley and Hinds, I dont see the point of doing kriging interpolation on a linear pattern of springs, its basically visualization and too much paper is about interpolation (geostatistics) which everyone knows except here its far easier to just plot as symbols by size or color without any kriging, it doesnt bring anything new and just fills the paper with some content not related to geology, its far better to plot distribution of points along a line as 2D graph or section
