With global populations on the rise and the increasing threat associated with climate change, the need for the development of low emission energy resources is clear. Geothermal energy, which originates from the underground heat of the earth (Sankaran, 2002), has the advantage of being a low-emission, baseload energy resource. Unlike other alternative energy resources, geothermal energy production does not fluctuate with time of day or season. Furthermore, geothermal energy is an indigenous resource that cannot be exported easily and thus delivers energy security and jobs near its deployment. Humankind has been using geothermal energy for millennia for balneological purposes and. | Morgan Ames Nanosensors as reservoir engineering tools to map in-situ temperature distributions in geothermal reservoirs NANOSENSORS AS RESERVOIR ENGINEERING TOOLS TO MAP INSITU TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTIONS IN GEOTHERMAL RESERVOIRS By Morgan Ames June 2011 Stanford Geothermal Program Interdisciplinary Research in Engineering and Earth Sciences Stanford University Stanford California Copyright by Morgan Ames 2011 All Rights Reserved .
