Exploration Basis

Compare microcracks between Coso and Raft River geothermal areas

 

Notes

Microcracks were observed in core samples from Coso. Both permeability and electrical conductivity were measured for a suite of samples with a range of microcracks characteristics. A partial set of samples were collected to study migration of radioactive elements.
