Locating Geothermal Resources: Insights from 3D Stress and Flow Models at the Upper Rhine Graben Scale

Figure 5

(a) Classification of particles resulting from the flow path analysis based on selection criteria and the respective delineated preferential target areas obtained (favourable areas are delineated by the green circles). Note that the particles are plotted at a 2 km depth upstream from the ending point of their trajectory. (b). Particle trajectories of the most relevant particles (red crosses) and the associated main flow directions.
