12 Geophysics in Geothermal Exploration It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I present this preface to the latest issue of Cahiers de l’AGAP. While the term “Cahiers” may evoke the idea of a lighter compilation, I believe, and I hope readers will agree, that the exceptional quality and depth of the contributions in this volume will serve as a valuable resource for professionals in the geothermal industry, supporting their future projects. State-of-the-art geophysics has become essential to accelerate the exploration and development of new geothermal projects. Geophysical methods, long established in fields such as petroleum exploration, mining, hydrogeology, and civil engineering, are now proving increasingly indispensable in the context of geothermal energy development. Geothermal energy is becoming increasingly important in today’s energy transition and is poised to play a growing role in the national, european, and global energy mix. On behalf of AGAP-Qualité, I extend my sincere gratitude to all the authors for their remarkable contributions, as well as to the coordinators, Jean-Luc Mari and Geoffroy Paixach, for their involvement in bringing this work to fruition.
