those magnetic parameters is potential to estimating ground


surface temperature based on SAR data.
A physical property for storage and release capabilities of
the electromagnetic energy in the form of magnetic charges,
magnetic permeability (μr), was regarded as the significant
indicator for the material identification as demonstrated by
[7] and [9]. The μr implied to be relative to the absolute
magnetic permeability of free space or a vacuum in SI
(Système International d'Unités) units 4π×10−7wb A−1 m−2
[10]. We used Ferromaster Magnetic Permeability Meter
from Stefan Mayer Instruments to measure the μr of the
samples. The Ferromaster could measure the μr of samples in
range 1.001 to 1.999 with sensitivity measurement 0.001
[11]. Another selected magnetic parameter, magnetic
susceptibility (μs), of the materials represents magnetization
of the materials when they were applied by magnetic field
[12]. The μs was reported as an effective parameter to
characterize surface materials such as coals [13] and volcanic
products [14]. Measuring μs, we used Magnetic
Susceptibility Meter SM-30 from Heritage Geophysics with
sensitivity measurement about 1×10-7 SI [15].
In addition, we also measured the moisture and electric
potential parameters for powder or soil sample and pH for Fig. 1. Design of laboratory equipment to measure thermal and magnetic

rised temperature was very rapid, we measured each


increment sample temperatur 10℃ from 25.2 to 96.7℃.
Heating peat sample up to 180℃ for two hours caused only a
rised sample temperature to maximum 98℃. This
phenomenon could be reported that the moisture content of
the peat controlled mostly the heating process. The low and
high temperature of peat sample agreed to the high and low
moisture content and electric conductivty. The moisture
content and electric potential were measured about 52.2%
and 36.1% and 960 mV and 794 μS, respectively. The
measured μr about 1 and 0.993 were achieved by peat
temperature 25.2℃ and 96.7℃. Accordingly, the measured μs
about -27.5×10-3 and -29.6×10-3 were achieved by those peat
temperatures. Further measurements and investigations were
necessary to obtain the magnetic properties of the peat
samples to the thermal variation.
Confirming laboratory measurement, we performed field
measurements at surface features of geothermal system.
Cibuni crater was selected as measured site due to existence
of alteration rocks, hot springs, and mud pools in same

this study. The laboratory experiments were performed by
heating altered rock and peat samples from geothermal and
dense vegetation fields, respectively. According to the
laboratory measurements, the moisture, electric potential,
and magnetic permeability of materials decreased
significantly at temperature more than 50°C. The magnetic
susceptibility responded to the altered rock and peat samples
similarly. The increase temperature will decrease magnetic
susceptibility of the altered rock and peat samples in general.
Ground surface measurements including pH,
temperature, magnetic permeability, and susceptibility at a
geothermal field were also performed to confirm laboratory
measurement. According to the field measurements, the
consistent magnetic permeability was obtained that the low
and high ground temperature corresponded well with high
and low magnetic permeability. The high temperature in a
geothermal system demagnetized the rock minerals presented
by low magnetic permeability. Contrary, the measured
magnetic susceptibility showed a low correlation to the
ground temperature. Large variation of magnetic
susceptibility corresponded to the ground temperature more
than 60 ℃ . The organic materials from weathering and
vegetation influenced to the measurement of magnetic
susceptibility at field.
An application to estimate the magnetic permeability and
dielectric permittivity from SAR backscattering data was
also applied to the selected geothermal field. The lowest
magnetic permeability about 0.7 agreed to the field
measurement about 0.9 in general. The low magnetic
permeability located at crater-rim structure and served as
permeable zones. The high magnetic permeability about 2.3
corresponded to the field measurement about 1 originated
from the barriers of the fault zones. In addition, the dielectric
permittivity parameter was controlled by moisture content of
the ground surface. Further analyses for accurate mapping
were targeted to the next study.
