Magnetotelluric soundings in the Darrough Hot Springs area, Nevada
Abstract
Two magnetotelluric soundings (MTS) were made in the Darrough Hot Springs area, one at the hot springs (38/sup 0/ 49' 29'' latitude, 117/sup 0/ 10' 55'' longitude) and the other four miles east (38/sup 0/ 49' 20'' latitude, 117/sup 0/ 06' 30'' longitude) of the hot springs. The Cagniard resistivities are tabulated along with the audio-magnetotelluric data for the hot springs and the one-dimensional model apparent resistivities derived from the data. The MTS data (.01 to .3 Hz) is strongly anisotropic with the north-south (rho x) resistivities being approximately a factor of ten greater than the east-west (rho y) resistivities for the lower frequencies.

Audio-magnetotelluric data log and station-location map for the Ennis Hot Springs area, Montana
Twenty audio-magnetotelluric soundings collected to assist in a regional evaluation of the geothermal potential of the Ennis Hot Springs area are presented. -
Audio-magnetotelluric data log and station-location map for the Silver Star Hot Springs area, Montana
During a period of 3 days, 22 audiomagnetotelluric (AMT) soundings were made in the area of the Silver Star Hot Springs, Montana. These surroundings were made to assess the geothermal potential along a northern trend of hot springs from New Biltmore Hot Springs north to Broadwater Hot Springs, Montana. Scalar resistivities from the data log show that thermal waters have probably altered the Cenozoic basin fill to the northeast for at least 4 to 5 km. Leakage of the geothermal system to the surface is probably taking place along a range-front fault at the contacts between the Precambrian metamorphics onmore » -
Magnetotelluric models of the Roosevelt Hot Springs thermal area, Utah
The Roosevelt Hot Springs (RHS) thermal area, which includes a hotwater-dominated fracture zone prospect, near the eastern margin of the Basin-Range tectonic province, conceivably possesses a whole family of resistivity structures that includes the following: deep hot brine reservoirs, deep-seated partially molten heat sources in the crust or upper mantle that drive the convective system, near-surface hydrothermal alteration zones, wet sedimentary fill in valleys, and a regional, apparently one-dimensional resistivity profile of the crust and upper mantle. This complex resistivity makeup, particular to RHS but probably similar to that at other geothermal areas in the Great Basin, must be treatedmore » -
Audio-magnetotelluric data log, station location map and skin depth pseudo-sections, Crater Hot Springs Known Geothermal Resource Area, Utah
The station locations are mapped and the observed apparent resistivity in ohm-meters is tabulated for each location over the frequency range of 7.5 to 18,600 cycles/sec. Also, skin depth pseudosection plots of the east--west and north--south telluric lines are presented. (WHK)
