  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A Time Domain Survey of the Los Alamos Region, New Mexico Author: Williston, McNeiI and Associates Year: 1979 A time domain electromagnetic sounding survey of the region surrounding the city of Los Alamos, New Mexico was carried out. The results show that a linear trough, trending northeast--southwest runs beneath the city. The southern boundary is somewhat to the south of the city, the northern boundary was not established. The geoelectric section consists of three layers and the total thickness of the section is in excess of 3 000 m. The resistivities of the second layer are as low as 2.5 ..cap omega.. m. If the salinities are in the region of 7 000 ppm, the resistivities could indicate that water with a temperature of 150/sup 0/C may be found at a depth of 3 000 m.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Coso Geothermal Corrosion Studies Author: Finnegan, S.A. Year: 1977 This report documents the results of geothermal corrosion studies conducted at the Coso Thermal Area, Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, California. Nine different common construction grade piping materials were tested for periods up to about one year in three distinctive low-pressure, medium temperature environments (acid-sulfate steam, groundwater-diluted steam, and hot mineralized alkaline water) under anaerobic and aerobic conditions. Exposed specimens were analyzed principally by optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques, and selectively by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray fluorescence, and atomic absorption spectroscopy. Corrosion/erosion modes, rates, and principal insoluble corrosion products were established and mechanisms based on established theory proposed to account for the modes of deterioration. Corrosion results were compared for the three fluid systems, and specific materials were then recommended for use in each of the fluid types found at the Coso Thermal Area Title: Coso Geothermal Corrosion Studies Author: Finnegan, S.A.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Optimizaton of a Fixed Solar Thermal Collector Author: Garrison, J. D. Year: 1978 A series of optimization steps have been carefully followed which lead almost uniquely to a particular collector design. It appears that a fixed (non-tracking) collector which operates at temperatures near or below 200Ge will make the greatest solar energy contribution to U.S. and world energy consumption. Optimization of the design of a fixed collector leads directly to an all glass, evacuated collector tube with optimal (Winston) concentration. A front surface mirror on the inside walls of this collector tube concentrates sunlight on an internal glass absorbing tube coated with a selective absorber Title: Optimizaton of a Fixed Solar Thermal Collector Author: Garrison, J.

The purpose of the workshop was to review what was known of the geologic environments which might be suitable for developing geothermal energy from "dry" hot rocks, with particular emphasis on the Eastern United States. Individuals, expert in various aspects of this topic, were invited to present informal discussions. There was, in addition, attendance of other interested individuals as observers.
