Abstract
A geophysical reconnaissance of Oahu was carried out over two ancient calderas to evaluated geothermal potential. Electrical resistivity, microseimicity, and soil mercury surveys were carried out. The geothermal potential appear to be favorable in the Koolau caldera where high values of mercury in the soil are present along with low electrical resistivities.
