Assessment of available information relating to geothermal resources in Hawaii : Circular C-98

Abstract

The basic objective of the Available Information Assessment is to provide a county-by-county compilation of information relevant to determining the existence and location of geothermal resources. The report is divided into five sections: (1) functions of the Geothermal Assessment Advisory; (2) a description of geothermal exploration techniques; (3) abstracts of representative geothermal literature; (4) a general, statewide, and county-by-county bibliography of geothermal resource literature; and (5) a glossary of terms used. The Geothermal Assessment Advisory Committee will assist the Department of Land and Natural Resources in determining the existence and location of geothermal resources. The primer on geothermal - exploration techniques may be of assistance while reading the literature presented. Abstracts are provided from a selected cross-section of the bibliography. They should give the reader a quick survey regarding the content of the available information. The bibliography is a general, statewide, and county-by-county compilation of titles which may be obtained from the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Water and Land Development; the Department of Planning imd Economic Development, Energy Division; the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics; the U.S. Geological Survey, Geologic Division; and the Hawaii State Library System. Finally, a glossary has been included for the convenience of the reader.
