Location The name of the geothermal resource area or location in which the activity took place.

Exploration Basis Why was exploration work conducted in this area (e.g., USGS report of a geothermal resource, hot springs with geothemmetry indicating electrical generation capacity, etc.

Notes In addition to the aeromagnetic data, the field survey program in Kawaihae included six Schlumberger resistivity soundings between Kawaihae and Waimea (Kauahikaua and Mattice, 1981). The results of these sounding (Fig. 35) detected apparent resistivity differences in the surface rock depending on whether the soundings were done on Kohala or Mauna Kea lavas (Figs 36, 37), whereas uniform resistivities of 650- 850 ohm.m were found at depths of approximately 30 m. Basement resistivities for these soundings ranged from 7.9 to 10,000 ohm-m. The former resistivity was interpreted to correspond to basalt saturated with seawater, whereas the latter, located to the west of Puu Loa, was tentatively interpreted to indicate the presence of a dense intrusive body associated with the Puu Loa cinder cone (Kauahikaua and Mattice, 1981). General notes about the activity.

Outcome A short description of the benefit or usefulness of the activity.
