Memorandum on the dipole--dipole resistivity results over the East Mesa geothermal anomaly, Imperial Valley, California

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

Some of the results of a resistivity survey completed over the East Mesa geothermal anomaly in Imperial County, California are presented. The area of the heat flow high correlates quite closely with a gravity high and with a seismic ground noise high. A reconnaissance resistivity survey using the Schlumberger electrode configuration was also completed in the Imperial Valley. These data show that a weak resistivity low exists at the East Mesa, at the contact between very low resistivity sediments to the west and slightly higher resistivity rocks to the east. Dipole-dipole resistivity measurements were made through the center of the … continued below

Description

Some of the results of a resistivity survey completed over the East Mesa geothermal anomaly in Imperial County, California are presented. The area of the heat flow high correlates quite closely with a gravity high and with a seismic ground noise high. A reconnaissance resistivity survey using the Schlumberger electrode configuration was also completed in the Imperial Valley. These data show that a weak resistivity low exists at the East Mesa, at the contact between very low resistivity sediments to the west and slightly higher resistivity rocks to the east. Dipole-dipole resistivity measurements were made through the center of the heat-flow high using x = 2,000', N = 1,2,3,4,5 along lines about five miles long. The results indicate a distinct resistivity low, at depth, that correlates with the East Mesa geothermal high. The details of the resistivity low can be seen much more clearly in the dipole-dipole data than from the reconnaissance survey. (JGB)
