A team composed of researchers from several Greek universities and research centres, from the University of Paris and from IGG-CNR, published on Scientific Report a paper highlighting the importance of chemical and isotopic characterization to establish the origin of deep fluids from 4 different geothermal fields located in Northern Greece. The results show that isotopic geothermometers are able to discriminate low-medium enthalpy fields from medium-high enthalpy ones.
