项目以喜马拉雅东构造结的川西地热区为研究区，开展高温地热系统成因及其地球动力学过程研究，以该区的地表热泉、钻孔和地热勘探最新发现的高温地热系统为对象，研究高温地热系统形成中的热源与传热机制关键因素。从区域尺度上研究地热背景、不同来源的热量构成、区域深部动力学过程、主要地热系统的热储温度分布与新构造关系；从热田尺度上研究典型地热系统水热耦合传热过程、深部岩浆热源体位置与属性。采用深浅结合、地质构造分析、采样测试与地球物理探测、数值模拟分析相结合的研究方法。本项目以建立碰撞造山带深部动力学过程与浅部地热系统之间的内在联系，预测未来地热勘探开发方向为主要的理论与应用目标。期望对喜马拉雅地热带起到解剖麻雀的作用，也期望通过构造结地热研究，对特提斯域地热的不均一性起到画龙点睛的效果。

In this project, the study area is located in the Western Sichuan region, which is the Himalayan eastern tectonic syntaxis. Using the newfound high-temperature geothermal systems, hot springs and drill holes as field targets, we probe into the key factors in the geothermal system’s genesis, including heat source and heat transfer mechanism. From the regional scale, the geothermal background, the composition of heat with different origins, deep crustal geodynamical processes responsible for the occurrence of high temperature geothermal systems and reservoir temperatures as related to neotectonics will be investigated. From the geothermal system scale, hydro-thermal coupling process of typical geothermal systems, the location and properties of magma heat source at depth will also be studied. By means of a combination of deep and shallow exploration, analysis of geological structures, sampling, testing, and geophysical prospecting, the project aims at establishing coherent relationship between deep geodynamical process in collisional orogenic belt and shallow geothermal systems, which can be used to guide the direction of geothermal exploration and development of high temperature geothermal resources in the future. We strive to improve the understanding of the Himalayan geothermal belt through detailed study of typical geothermal systems in the syntaxis area and to bring out the secrets behind geothermal heterogeneity along the Tethyan tectonic domain.
