Geochemical studies on the thermal brine from Reykjanes (Iceland)

  • 1. Liverpool Univ. (UK)

Description

Chemical and isotopic (D and 18O) analyses are presented for thermal brines from three springs and two boreholes on the Reykjanes peninsula. They suggest that the discharge waters are formed mainly by the penetration of local meteoric water into brine-bearing formations followed by evaporation of this brine
