Abstract
A high sensitivity thermometer using a thermistor sensing element was designed for practical measurements in the field.
The most suitable procedures for the elimination of diurnal and seasonal variation of temperature, the influence of vegetation cover and of other effects were investigated.
Positive results of geothermic measurements have been acquired on sulfide deposits. By far the most important results of geothermic measurements have been obtained in hydrogeological problems, e.g. the investigation of circulation of underground water. In the case of prospection for cold mineral waters the combination of geothermic measurements with gasometric analyses is very useful. As the classical domain for geothermic investigation, prospection for hot water is to be mentioned.
