Towards Application of Remote Sensing Technology in Geothermal Prospecting in Xilingol in Eastern Inner Mongolia, NE China

Abstract:

Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source most abundantly associated with volcanism. In this paper, we report the progress in the application of remote sensing technology for prospecting the geothermal energy potential in Xilingol, a Cenozoic volcanic area in the eastern Inner Mongolia, NE China. Landsat TM images are processed in combination of existing geological and geographical data in the interpretation of faults and volcanic craters. Land surface temperature (LST) has been retrieved with a single-channel algorithm. Through the analysis of geological data and the distribution of the LST, seven prospective geothermal areas have been identified for further study.
