Synthesis of knowledge about the geothermal potential of the Morne Rouge - Montagne Pelee and Diamant regions (Martinique) - First works of the BRGM in 2001-2003 - Work progress report. Re-assessment of the geothermal potential in the Morne Rouge - Montagne Pelee and Diamant regions (Martinique): geological study + geochemical study + geophysical study - Appendices + main conclusions and recommendations

A first report proposes syntheses of geological (recent tectonic stresses, geological presentation or characterisation, zones of geothermal interest), geochemical (geochemistry of thermal waters, mercury explorations, gas explorations) and geophysical (geophysical methods of exploration, analysis of existing data) knowledge for regions of the Martinique island (Morne Rouge - Montagne Pelee and Diamant), and a description of the first works performed by the BRGM in 2001-2003 (structural geology reconnaissance campaign, sampling and analysis of thermal source waters. The second document reports a new occurrence of the same study, and comprises descriptions of the geology of both studied regions, a geochemical study (sampling, chemical and isotopic analyses, result interpretation, and gas measurements in soils), a geophysical study (methods, geomagnetic and gravimetric measurements, results interpretation for both regions, appendices with measurements and results). A last report proposes a synthesis of previous works, and states some conclusions and recommendations
