Project Objectives<br />
• Determine characteristic geologic and<br />
geophysical signature for productive<br />
geothermal systems<br />
• Relate these findings to tectonic setting<br />
and regional strain rates<br />
• Later apply these methods in a Phase<br />
II to discovering blind geothermal<br />
systems<br />
– Estimates suggest that ~3/4 of systems in<br />
Great Basin region are blind or hidden<br />
– Example below from Hot Springs Mts, NW<br />
Nevada – 2 of 3 high-temp systems blind<br />

Systems (Faulds et al., 2013)
