Abstract In response to climate change, international efforts have focused on renewable energies such as solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal, which produce minimal greenhouse gases and are more sustainable. The United Nations' 2015 Sustainable Development Goals emphasized “affordable and clean energy,” contributing to countries' decisions to adopt renewable energy agendas. Geothermal energy is seen as key to reducing fossil fuel use, both for electric power generation and heating. This has increased exploration efforts, in which geophysics plays a crucial role through research, technology, and innovative workflows. Specific geophysical workflows, including seismic, gravity, magnetics, and electromagnetic methods, address the different geologic challenges encountered in various exploration plays. We highlight the impact of multiphysics on geothermal exploration, showing how workflows are tailored based on play characteristics, complexity, and data availability. Three case studies are presented, with increasing levels of complexity in relation to the exploration challenges, matched by increased complexity of the proposed geophysical solution.
