This archived dataset contains magnetic and gravity imaging data for the Appalachian Basin, compiled using Poisson Wavelet Multiscale Edge Detection, referred to as 'worm' for brevity, and stored in a PostGIS database, along with shapefiles and CSVs of relevant data. The archive also includes regional earthquake data going back to 1973 and relevant world stress map data. These data are used in estimating the seismic hazards (both natural and induced) for candidate direct use geothermal locations in the Appalachian Basin Play Fairway Analysis by Jordan et al. (2015).

The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program is a major element of the four-agency National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), established by Congress in 1977. The USGS responsibilities within NEHRP include earthquake monitoring and notification, earthquake impact and hazard assessments, and targeted research on earthquake causes and effects.

The data is associated to the Fallon FORGE project and includes mudlogs for all wells used to characterize the subsurface, as wells as gravity, magnetotelluric, earthquake seismicity, and temperature data from the Navy GPO and Ormat. Also included are geologic maps from the USGS and Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology for the Fallon, NV area.

This is the regional dataset compilation for the INnovative Geothermal Exploration through Novel Investigations Of Undiscovered Systems (INGENIOUS) project. The primary goal of this project is to accelerate discoveries of new, commercially viable hidden geothermal systems while reducing the exploration and development risks for all geothermal resources. These datasets will be used in INGENIOUS as input features for predicting geothermal favorability throughout the Great Basin study area. Datasets consist of shapefiles, geotiffs, tabular spreadsheets, and metadata that describe: 2-meter temperature probe surveys, quaternary faults and volcanic features, geodetic shear and dilation models, heat flow, magnetotellurics (conductance), magnetics, gravity, paleogeothermal features (such as sinter and tufa deposits), seismicity, spring and well temperatures, spring and well aqueous geochemistry analyses, thermal conductivity, and fault slip and dilation tendency.

Effective enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) require optimal fracture networks for efficient heat transfer between hot rock and fluid. Microseismic mapping is a key tool used to infer the subsurface fracture geometry. Traditional earthquake detection and location techniques are often employed to identify microearthquakes in geothermal regions. However, most commonly used algorithms may miss events if the seismic signal of an earthquake is small relative to the background noise level or if a microearthquake occurs within the coda of a larger event. Consequently, we have developed a set of algorithms that provide improved microearthquake detection. Our objective is to investigate the microseismicity at the DOE Newberry EGS site to better image the active regions of the underground fracture network during and immediately after the EGS stimulation. Detection of more microearthquakes during EGS stimulations will allow for better seismic delineation of the active regions of the underground fracture system. This improved knowledge of the reservoir network will improve our understanding of subsurface conditions, and allow improvement of the stimulation strategy that will optimize heat extraction and maximize economic return.

The beautiful mountains of Utah, the abundant streams of Idaho, the wide-open expanses of Nevada, the little hamlets of eastern California, and the urban centers next to steep mountain ranges – all part of the Intermountain West (IMW) region of the U.S. The IMW encompasses a large area of the middle western part of the country from the Rocky Mountains to the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Ranges and is approximately bound on the north by the Canadian border and on the south by the Mexican border (shown on map to left inside yellow border). The IMW is a broad zone of east-west extension, meaning the crust is being stretched, so there are predominantly normal faults within the region – except for the western edge, which is a zone of strike-slip faults parallel to the San Andreas fault called the Walker Lane. This broad region of the western U.S. typically has a fair number of small earthquakes each year, but in 2020 there was an unusual amount of seismic activity – four moderate-sized earthquakes (shown as red stars on the map) and their prolific aftershocks occurred in various locations.

The objective of this project is to detect and locate microearthquakes to aid in the characterization of reservoir fracture networks. Accurate identification and mapping of the large numbers of microearthquakes induced in EGS is one technique that provides diagnostic information when determining the location, orientation and length of underground crack systems for use in reservoir development and management applications. Conventional earthquake location techniques often are employed to locate microearthquakes. However, these techniques require labor-intensive picking of individual seismic phase onsets across a network of sensors. For this project we adapt the Matched Field Processing (MFP) technique to the elastic propagation problem in geothermal reservoirs to identify more and smaller events than traditional methods alone.

This story map tells the tale of Earth’s tectonic plates, their secret conspiracies, awe-inspiring exhibitions and subtle impacts on the maps and geospatial information we so often take for granted as unambiguous. But is it? We recommend you journey through this map on the trail we’ve manicured on the left. You will find yourself hovering over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge or swimming in magma deep within the Earth’s core. Have fun and we hope your voyage is fruitful!

This is the current induced seismicity mitigation plan (ISMP) for the Utah FORGE project. Information that was collected during Phases 1 and 2 of the Utah FORGE project has been incorporated, as have literature searches and risk assessments. The purpose of this report is to identify and mitigate induced seismicity for the Utah FORGE Project. Mitigation includes preliminary screening, outreach, criteria for ground vibration and noise, data collection practices, and natural seismic hazard analysis. From this, the overall risk from the project was determined. This report is subject to change as new information comes to light.
