Tidal tilt observations in the Krafla geothermal area in North Iceland

Creator:: Axelsson, Gudni
Abstract:: A brief tilt and strain survey was conducted in the Krafla-Namafjall area in the North of Iceland during August of 1979 in order to study the feasibility of applying solid earth tidal observations in the exploration of volcanic geothermal systems. The rationale of the survey was based on the expectation...

On the influence of terrestrial heat flow anomalies on the temperature microstructure at the ocean floor

Creator:: Vossler, Donald Alan
Abstract:: The effects on the temperature microstructure of terrestrial heat flow and heat flow anomalies at the ocean floor are discussed on the basis of a simple heat diffusion model. The effects on the temperature microstructure of layering of the thermal properties of the ocean are investigated. This is done both...

Iterative techniques in linearized free surface flow

Creator:: Avera, William Edgar
Abstract:: The displacement of the free liquid surface in geothermal and hydrologic reservoirs is an important capacitance factor. An iterative approach to determining the drawdown of the free liquid surface for a single sink region in a homogeneous, isotropic, Darcy-type porous mediums is discussed. The iterative approach involves a stepwise adjustment...

Hydrology and thermomechanics of liquid-dominated hydrothermal systems in Iceland

Creator:: Axelsson, Gudni
Abstract:: Low-temperature hydrothermal activity in Iceland is apparently mostly controlled by dikes and fractures. Conventional methods of production data analysis are not readily applicable in cases of heterogeneous/anisotropic fracture dominated hydrothermal systems. Moreover, the dikes and fractures may control the heat uptake mechanism of low-temperature activity. The free-surface response functions of...

Perturbation methods in geophysics and oceanography

Creator:: Lu, Richard Shih-Ming
Abstract:: The perturbation method is applied to solve two numerical problems in the earth sciences, viz., (l)the computation of deep sea currents in the coastal region of the northeast Pacific and (2) the interpretation of D.C. conduction data in exploration geophysics. The perturbation method is largely equivalent to the method of...

Analytical and numerical continuation methods for conductive temperature fields

Creator:: Eggers, Dwight Edward
Abstract:: The continuation of conductive temperature fields is being considered. The continuation of a field involves the extrapolation of a field known over a limited domain to an adjacent domain in such a way that it satisfies the heat conduction differential equation and other imposed constraints. Continuations forward in time and...

Numerical analysis of critical field functions for thermal convection in vertical or quasi-vertical Darcy flow slabs

Creator:: Shyu, Chuen Tien
Abstract:: The numerical analysis of thermal convection in porous media, heated from below, and assuming Darcy flow conditions, involves the solving of a set of non-linear equations for the temperature and flow fields. The condition of criticality determining the onset of convection is obtained by linearization and the solving of an...

Applications of source signature deconvolution to airgun seismic profiling and the measurement of attenuation from reflection seismograms

Creator:: Wrolstad, Keith H.
Abstract:: Deterministic source signature deconvolution is applied to the processing of marine wide angle and vertical profiler data with air-gun sources. Optimum results are obtained with a source signature measured by stacking the signal reflected from a relatively homogeneous abyssal plain sedimentary environment. This eliminates the need for the unstable inverse...

Gravity anomalies and their structural implications for the southern Oregon Cascade Mountains and adjoining Basin and Range province

Creator:: Veen, Cynthia A.
Abstract:: Gravity measurements made during 1979 and 1980, combined with existing gravity measurements, provide data for the interpretation of upper crustal structures relevant to the assessment of the geothermal potential of south-central Oregon. West of Upper Klamath Lake, free-air gravity anomalies trend north-south and average near 35 mgals. East of Upper...
