- Summary:
- Phase 1 of a Play Fairway Analysis (PFA) of geothermal resource potential across the State of Hawaii was recently completed. The final products of this work include a statewide geothermal resource probability map, a map of confidence in this probability, an assessment of the viability of development in areas of interest, and a prioritized list of recommended future exploration activities. This paper describes the rationale for including this study’s datasets: surfacegeologic mapping data (calderas, rift zones, volcanic vents, dikes, faults), groundwater data (temperature,Chloride:Magnesium, SiO2) and geophysical data (gravity, magnetotelluric, seismic, geodetic strain). We find that the likelihood of abundant of geothermal resources is highest on the youngest islandof Hawaii.
