CEGA/LBNL Collaboration

摘要

Dr. Patrick Dobson, of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), traveled to Chile at the end of 2012 as a Fulbright Specialist in association with CEGA, the Andean Geothermal Centre of Excellence, at the University of Chile in Santiago. A collaborative effort between LBNL's geothermal program and CEGA was undertaken-a study of the variations in helium isotope ratios at geothermal hot springs and fumaroles throughout the Andes. Dr. Dobson helped Chilean graduate students studying geothermal geochemistry and numerical modeling to increase their practical and theoretical skills. The students in the photograph at right are from the University of Chile on a visit to the Olla de Mote thermal area at the Nevados de Chilian-a group of stratovolcanoes in southern Chile.
