Three-dimensional geologic mapping to assess geothermal potential: examples from Nevada and Oregon

Abstract Geologic structure plays an important role in controlling fluid flow in geothermal systems. In particular, very complex structural settings, consisting of many closely spaced and intersecting faults, host many geothermal systems. To elucidate the key geologic factors that affect fault-contr...
