Dating Sinter Deposits in Northern Dixie Valley, Nevada- the Paleoseismic Record and Implications for the Dixie Valley Geothermal System
A series of fossil spring deposits are exposed along the Dixie Valley fault just south of the producing geothermal field, in an area now characterized by active fumaroles and steaming ground. These deposits are composed of both travertine and sinter that have trapped pollen and other plant material during their formation. Radiocarbon dates on the organic material indicate that the youngest hot ...
متن کاملActive Faulting and Stress Redistributions in the Dixie Valley, Beowawe, and Bradys Geothermal Fields: Implications for Geothermal Exploration in the Basin and Range
Detailed and preliminary field investigations delineating the most recent fault ruptures in vicinity of the Dixie Valley, Beowawe, and Bradys geothermal fields allow an assessment of static stress changes and their possible influences on the geothermal environments. Our models for the Dixie Valley and Beowawe regions show increased failure stress on faults and fractures associated with the geot...

متن کاملAn Investigation of the Dixie Valley Geothermal Field, Nevada, Using Temporal Moment Analysis of Tracer Tests
The method of analysis of the first temporal moment (mean residence time) of tracer return data was utilized to investigate the swept volume and fluid velocity between pairs of injection and production wells in the Dixie Valley geothermal field. Calculations were made using a spreadsheet program available from the Idaho National Laboratory. Jointly sponsored industry–government research at the ...
متن کاملIntegrated Alteration Mineralogy and Fluid-inclusion Study at the Dixie Valley Geothermal Field. Nevada
Cuttings from geothermal wells in Dixie Valley, Nevada document the complex history of the Jurassic reservoir rocks now contained within the hanging wall of the Stillwater normal fault. Six stages of postOligocene alteration can be recognized on the basis of mineral paragenesis, rock associations, fluid-inclusion temperatures and apparent salinities. The paragenetic sequence from oldest to youn...
