The geothermal research program at the University of Colorado encompasses three primary areas of study. These include:
1. Analysis and interpretation of data from the Mesa Anomaly. Development of a physically viable conceptual model of the undeveloped system.
2. Heat and mass transfer in simple models of liquid-dominated geothermal systems. Analysis of flow, temperature and pressure distribution.
3. Rock deformation processes associated with mechanical loading ( earth tide s, tectonics) and extraction and reinjection of 1 iquids. During the Second Workshop we will present results of studies on: ( 1 ) Steady Nonlinear Convection on a Saturated Porous Medium with Large Temperature Variation. (2) The Vertical Convection of Heated Liquid in a Fault Zone in the Geothermal Environment. (3) The Enhancement of Microfracture Structure in Rocks..
