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.
