Geophysics in Geothermal Exploration

11 QUAL I TÉ GÉOPHYSIQUEAPPLIQUÉE Prefaces An invitation in March 2024 to the scientific days of the “AGAP-Qualité” from Jean-Luc Mari and its president Michel Hayet made it possible to initiate interesting conversations between the applied geophysics community and the French administration on subsurface exploration. This book entirely dedicated to geophysical investigation applied to the characterization of geothermal resources is, I hope, a first step in the dissemination of knowledge and know-how for everyone, from practitioners to a broad public. We are all convinced that geothermal energy represents a promising renewable energy source, capable of meeting energy needs while reducing our carbon footprint. I sincerely thank all the authors of the technical chapters constituting this book with a special mention to Geoffroy Paixach and Jean-Luc Mari who, in their free time, made it possible to develop this work. Dear reader, I hope that, like me, you will have the pleasure of discovering this book and keeping it within reach.
