- Experiment Name: Shear Wave Splitting and Subsurface Fracture Orientations
Within the Coso Geothermal Field
- PI: Hasting, Monastero

- Descr: The purpose of this experiment is to obtain subsurface fracture
orientations that can be used for production strategies and to define
new drilling targets within the Geothermal Field. Early work with data
from the Coso Microearthquake (MEQ) Network showed good correlation
between geothermal injection studies and fracture orientations obtained
from shear wave splitting. Portable instruments will be used to expand
the results of the MEQ network.
