Some Geophysical Survey Methodologies for Archaeological Research in the Brú na Bóinne World Heritage Site, County Meath, Ireland

The presented paper is a project update of integrated research to evaluate the potential for developing engineered geothermal systems (EGS) in Alberta, Canada. This process balances both locating the highest concentrations of the resource and assessing where there is a demand for those resources. In the context of the geothermal exploration being undertaken by Helmholtz Alberta Initiative (HAI), this requires that heat sources for heavy oil and bitumen production are found close to the deposits. In the passed year, 25 2D seismic lines in different locations of Northern Alberta were reprocessed and interpreted. Reference and Horizon maps were produced in Athabasca area and it would be developed by adding and processing more data sets. This work is innovative as we are developing the first geological model of the area that integrates seismic data, all data prior to this has been developed on the basis of well logs.
