Exploration Activity: 2-M Probe Survey At Chena Geothermal Area (Wescott & Turner, 1982)

Exploration Activity Details
Location	Chena Geothermal Area
Exploration Technique	2-M Probe Survey
Activity Date	1973 - 1974
Usefulness	useful
DOE-funding	Unknown

 

Exploration Basis

Masters thesis Norma Biggar, Geophysical Institute University of Alaska

 

Notes

Ground temperature survey performed with a 0.5 m probe. This survey yielded a SE-trending anomaly with an elongated orientation, parallel to inferred faulting in the granitic pluton. These results were interpreted as an indication of the potential presence of fault-dominated thermal fluid flow.
