  abstract = {{T}he potential of high-temperature (>150 degrees {C}) geothermal systems in crustal fault zones (fault cores and hundreds of meters wide networks of interconnected fractures in the damage zone) is underestimated. {B}ased on numerical models, we show that topography-driven, poroelasticity-driven as well as buoyancy-driven forces play a significant role in the establishment of shallow (1-4 km) thermal anomalies in fault zones. {W}e investigate the role of permeability, topography, fault dip, tectonic regime and fault geometry on the amplitude of thermal anomalies. {F}avorable conditions include: (i) a damage zone thickness > 100 m, (ii) a minimum cumulative displacement of 100-150 m and (iii) fault zone lengths of at least one kilometer. {B}ased on these parameters, we propose new potential targets for the geothermal exploration of fault zones in {W}estern {E}urope.},
