Continental Scientific Drilling Program Thermal Regimes: Comparative Site Assessment Geology of Five Magma-Hydrothermal Systems

摘要

The geology and salient aspects of geophysics and hydrogeochemistry of five high-grade geothermal systems in the USA are reviewed. On the basis of this information, a target location is suggested for a deep (5- to 8-km) borehole that will maximize the amount of scientific information to be learned at each of the five geothermal areas.
