Exploration Activity: Aeromagnetic Survey At Coso Geothermal Area (1977)

Exploration Activity Details
Location Coso Geothermal Area
Exploration Technique Aeromagnetic Survey
Activity Date 1977
Usefulness useful regional reconnaissance
DOE-funding Unknown

Notes
A detailed low-altitude aeromagnetic survey of 576 line-mi (927 line-km) was completed over a portion of the Coso Hot Springs KGRA. This survey defined a pronounced magnetic low that could help delineate the geothermal system that has an areal extent of approximately 10 sq mi (26 sq km) partially due to magnetite destruction by hydrothermal solutions associated with the geothermal system. The anomoly coincides with two other geophysical anomalies: 1) a bedrock electrical resistivity low and 2) an area of relatively high near-surface temperatures.
