Kinematic and Dynamic Studies of the Coso Geothermal and Surrounding Areas

During the final stages of this project we encountered some delays in securing a no-cost extension that was requested in order to complete additional analyses that were not originally anticipated. These analyses include one additional radiometric age and geochemical analyses of lava flow units. This Final Technical Report serves to convey the results of the efforts of Tasks 1,2,3 and 4 (Table 1.1). Because Task 4 represents Integration and Interpretation, the results contained herein largely reflect efforts under this task. It is expected that two manuscripts for publication will stem directly from the efforts of this project. An additional 4 manuscripts for publication are expected to result from efforts that set the stage for the work conducted under this contract. The original document contains color images. All DTIC reproductions will be in black and white. Prepared in cooperation with the Dept. of Earth Sciences, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA.
