The first results for the Atlantic Coastal Plain drilling program are reported by the Geophysics group for 17 holes drilled in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Average geothermal gradients range from about 25/sup 0/C/Km to a high of 45/sup 0/C/Km. Three sites, Salisbury, MD, Crisfield, MD, and Wallops Island, VA, have sufficiently high thermal gradients to warrant further study to outline the thermal anomaly and to discover if they are associated with a potential field anomaly. Separate abstracts were prepared for 13 papers.
