Utah FORGE: Targeting Geothermal Resources with Geodetic Strain Data Paper

Description

The paper linked below offers an initial assessment of a new method to target potential geothermal resources on the regional scale. The method is based on seeking relationships between geologic structures and geodetic observations of regional tectonic strain.
