What does it take for seismic campaigns in geothermal exploration to gain public acceptance? In late 2024, Philippa Decker, an Environmental Geologist based in Switzerland went to find out and joined a seismic crew from GEO2X SA on a geothermal exploration project in her hometown of Nyon.

In her article for ThinkGeoEnergy, Philippa shares an insider’s view of conducting seismic surveys in a semi-urban setting. From navigating permitting challenges to the acquisition process, she explores:
✅ The real-world impact on local communities
✅ How new, high-resolution 3D seismic data can dramatically improve the success of identifying geothermal resources
