Low-Temperature Hydrothermal Resource Potential Estimate

Compilation of data (spreadsheet and shapefiles) for several low-temperature resource types, including isolated springs and wells, delineated area convection systems, sedimentary basins and coastal plains sedimentary systems. For each system, we include estimates of the accessible resource base, mean extractable resource and beneficial heat. Data compiled from USGS and other sources.

General locations are provided in the spreadsheet; specific locations are provided in the associated shapefiles. The paper (submitted to GRC 2016) describing the methodology and analysis is also included.
