Alaska RIG presents Unlocking Geothermal in Alaska
Description
Presented by Jared Peacock, Research Geologist with US Geologist Survey
A recent Department of Energy award to support drilling efforts highlights the potential and further understanding of the volcanic heat source and hydrothermal system. In 2027, a large geophysical data collection effort will take place on Augustine, including airborne electromagnetics, ground-based magnetotellurics and gravity, and drone-based magnetics and thermal infrared. Plans are being developed to collect regional-scale magnetotelluric and gravity surveys in the interior of Alaska to help locate areas of interest.
