Abstract
Models of geothermal reservoirs which generate seismic emissions include 1) phase changes in subsurface and 2) a fusion of occurrence times of exceptionally small earthquakes. Another method of detection of subsurface seismic emitters for geothermal exploration is demonstrated. Simulation of this method indicates that uncorrected statics between stations is the principal difficulty in application of the method.
