| Abstract: | The Aluto-Langano geothermal field is located in the central southern portion of Ethiopia within the Ethiopian Rift Valley.
The gravity of the area was surveyed in an attempt to delineate the subsurface structure and to better understand the relationship
between the geothermal systems and the subsurface structure. The gravity data were analyzed using integrated gradient interpretation
techniques, such as the Horizontal Gradient (HG), Source Edge Detection (SED), and Euler Deconvolution (ED) methods. These
techniques detected many faults that were compared with the mapped faults in the surface geology. The results of the present
study will lead to an improved understanding of the geothermal system in the study area and aid the future geothermal exploration
of the area. |
