| Abstract | A remote sensing analysis of the geomorphology of the Orakeikorako region using aerial photographs and satellite imagery yields results that are similar to those developed in published accounts. Integration of all available geologic information is required in order to interpret and ground-truth the remotely sensed data. A large elliptical structure east of the Waikato River at Orakeikorako and west-northwest faulting may be products of transtensional stresses present in this area of the Taupo Volcanic Zone. The Orakeikorako geothermal field ismigrating eastward is in decline based on remote sensing, geological and geophysical data. |
