Exploration Research
Geothermal exploration at the Great Basin Center
focuses on predictive
GIS modeling,
remote sensing,
shallow temperature surveys,
and field examination of
structure and
groundwater. This
Exploration Research page compiles exploration
maps, favorability maps, fieldwork
presentations, current projects, and lease data.
See available data downloads in the list to
the right:
Multiple factors correlate with geothermal
activity, among them sinter, tufa, proximity to
fault systems, and Quaternary-to-Recent felsic intrusions.
Mark Coolbaugh, Rick Zehner, Chris Kratt,
Chris Sladek,
James Faulds,
and
Nicholas Hinz examine field
indicators, create predictive models of
geothermal potential, and discover blind
systems. |
