| Abstract: | We are presenting the results of 33 Schlumbreger resistivity soundings made in the Jemez Mountains of northwestern New Mexico, near the village of Jemez Springs. Using these data we identified three areas that have potential as low temperature geothermal reservoirs. The areas are characterized by a localized zone of very low resistivity which represents the extent of geothermal water and correlates with the location of the hot springs or recent volcanic rocks. Resistivities increase rapidly toward the margins of the anomalies, which suggests either variable porosities or variable temperature and salinities in the reservoirs. | ||
