This 23 page report is an initial investigation into the role that low-angle faulting may play in the formation of the Thermo Hot Springs Known Geothermal Area (KGRA), within the Sevier geothermal anomaly of southwestern Utah. The stratigraphy and structures exposed in the southern mineral mountains are used as an analog for studying the subsurface stratigraphy and the detachment fault within the Thermo Hot Springs KGRA.

This 27-page report analyzes new detailed (1:12,000 scale) geologic mapping of a 14 square mile area centered by the high-temperature (350°F) Sulphurdale heat source, which at the surface makes up a circular area about a mile in diameter that is likely caused by a magma body at depth. A former small steam-driven geothermal electric power plant in the circular area is being replaced by a larger plant (Enel Green Power North America) that will use binary technology. Five cross sections tied to and at the same scale as the map help interpret the likely extent of the geothermal resource. Sulfur derived from evaporites at depth was initially mined at a solfatara above the heat source; associated sulfuric acid seeped downward to remove the Kaibab Limestone and Toroweap Formation from the subsurface.

A bibliography of Utah geothermal references through 1984. These references which directly pertain to a geothermal resources are annotated. The annotations are intended to inform the reader of the information contained in the article, not to summarize the results. Accompanying the bibliography is a list and description of geothermal projects and commercial geothermal developments in Utah from 1966 to the present that have been wholly or partially funded through Federal or State programs. The references listed in the project descriptions are keyed to the bibliography. Most of this work is by government agencies or universities. Private or industry-funded geothermal developments are not listed. The references are indexed geographically either under 1.) United States (national studies), 2.) regional – western United States or physiographic province, 3.) Utah – statewide and regional, or 4.) county. Reports concerning a particular hot spring or thermal area are listed under both the thermal area and the county names.

This CD contains a 63 p. report of the task force to identify and promote the development of renewable energy resources to meet the goal of 20 percent of Utah's electrical retail sales by 2025. Work groups were established to identify energy zones for wind, solar, and geothermal energy resources. The Phase I report identifies energy zones (approx. 13,262 sq. miles) and an estimated 837 gigawatts of electrical generating capacity.

This volume focuses on the geometry, kinematic development, and origin of regional segmentation structures within the basin and range province of Western North America. Contributions range from analysis of individiual structures to broad regional syntheses, including a map of basin and range structures and tilt domains. Several papers discuss the implications of regional segmentation structures in assessing seismic hazards, hydrocarbon and mineral resources, and ground-water supplies.
