49m
Geologic field mapping involves several key components including determining the stratigraphic framework, mapping and characterizing faults, and mapping and characterizing geothermal surface manifestations. This field trip focuses on faults and explores the different field expressions of faults, such as surface exposures, fault scarps in alluvium, and faults inferred from stratigraphic offsets. We will also explore determinations of fault motion, fault recency, fault dip, and how specific faults may contribute to the conceptual model of a given field at either the exploration or resource management phase. Field localities will include both developed and undeveloped fields. Q&A to follow.

Lithium Field Trip
This trip will look at the continental rift and evaporite lake processes that resulted in the formation of one of the world’s largest byproduct lithium resource at the Salton Sea Geothermal Field (SSGF). We will tour one of the geothermal power plants currently producing and processing the lithiu...

Cyrq Soda Lake Field Trip (Part 1)
The Soda Lake Geothermal field, owned and operated by Cyrq Energy, has a long and interesting history that make it unique. The field is near a Quaternary volcanic feature, the Soda Lake maar, a rarity at Basin and Range geothermal fields, and there is a buried late Miocene cone in the center of t...
