Résumé :	In subsurface characterization studies, surface seismic and electrical-electromagnetic methods are among the most widely used methods for creating 2D and 3D subsurface models. These methods play a growing role in soil investigations for hydrogeological studies, site characterization for wind farms, and the oil and gas industry, particularly in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The goal of this book is to provide a practical guide on how to apply geophysical methods in geothermal exploration, illustrated with real-world field examples. These methods support resource exploration, the de-risking of drilling projects, and the ongoing monitoring of geothermal assets. The book begins with an introduction to geothermal energy systems. It then delves into geophysical methods, presenting the current state of knowledge and illustrating how electrical-electromagnetic and active-passive seismic methods can be combined into a Multiphysics approach for geothermal exploration. Each method has unique strengths and limitations, responding to specific subsurface properties and operating at different scales, depths, and spatial resolutions. Therefore, selecting the most cost-effective and appropriate methods for a given geothermal prospect requires an integrated approach to optimize exploration success while minimizing risks. In addition to these examples, the authors provide readers with guidelines to carry out these operations, in terms of acquisition, as well as processing and interpretation. Each chapter includes brief theoretical concepts, mainly practical guidelines and, most importantly, real-world application examples. For this reason, the book can be used as a companion text for course lectures and continuing education seminars. This book aims to promote the exchange of information among geologists, geophysicists, and engineers involved in the field of geothermal energy.
