Abstract
The smectite to illite transformation in active geothermal systems of New Zealand can be simulated by a first-order reaction kinetic model, which provides direct estimates about the minumum ages of active geoth ermal systems themselves. The derived kinetic values show that the sme ctite to illite transformation is sensitive to both temperature and ti me.
