| Abstract | A detailed model has been developed of the Roosevelt geothermal field and its surroundings. It involves a dissection of the three dimensional geometry of the rock masses, and of the mass and energy flow systems operating within them. This model forms the "ground truth" for evaluating a new kind of geochemical reconnaissance, multi-element analysis of surface microlayer samples. A fresh viewpoint of geothermal potential in the Milford Valley evolves from the study. |
