Thermal Conditions for Geothermal Energy in Transcarpathian Depression

The contribution presents the results of our cooperative geothermal works in the Transcarpathian depression - very perspective region for exploitation of geothermal energy both for Slovakia and for Ukraine. The activities were focused on interpretation of temperature and heat flow data, geothermal modelling results and relations of the thermal state of the lithosphere to the tectonics in the region under study and surrounding geological units. These results and additional modelling works afforded us the opportunity to construct the terrestrial heat flow density map and maps of the temperature distribution in various depth levels and consequently to analyse the thermal conditions for the exploitation of geothermal energy in separate basins of the Transcarpathian depression.
