Surface Displacements Around The Geothermal Power Plant Of Landau (Germany) During The 2013-2014 Event

Abstract

Mid-­?2013 an uplift began centered on the geothermal power plant of the city of landau (Germany) Due to a leak in the reinjection well. The uplift has an extension at kilometer order (Figure 1). The beginning (3 first months) Was analyzed in previous studies (Heimlich et al., 2014; 2015). This uplift occurs until mid-­?march 2014, followed by a subsidence centered at the same location (Figure 2). In this study, we present the observation and analyze of the surface displacements during the whole 2013-­?2014 period, including the subsidence after the power plant shutting down in march 2014. We also analyze the displacements at larger scale over the area of landau.
