Developments are reviewed in magnetotelluric, electromagnetic, active and passive seismic and borehole technology for geothermal exploration. Several instruments are in the prototype stage of development or testing. However, progress in many areas has been significant, particularly in areas of field techniques and in software and hardware development. It is concluded that all improvements can be traced to use of state-of-the-art electronics and computer technology. 21 refs.
