Title: HYDROGEOLOGY OF THE THERMAL LANDSLIDE

Conference ·
OSTI ID:892168

The large Thermal Landslide overlies the initial area of geothermal development at The Geysers. The landslide is waterbearing while the underlying Franciscan formation bedrock units are essentially non-waterbearing except where affected by hydrothermal alteration. Perched ground water moving through the landslide is heated prior to discharge as spring flow.
