Neogene-Quaternary normal and transfer faults controlling deep-seated geothermal systems: The case of San Agustín del Maíz (central Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, México)

Investigating, from surface, deep-seated geothermal systems below hundreds to thousands of meters of thick clastic and unconsolidated sediments is always a timely theme for geothermal exploration. In this paper we describe a fieldwork and remote approach to the San Agustín del Maíz area, located in the central sector of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. Here, several geothermal manifestations are distributed in a broad basinal area, characterized...
