Interpretation of electromagnetic extra-low-frequency soundings in the Randsburg, California, Known Geothermal Resource Area

January 1, 1978

An electromagnetic (EM) controlled source survey was made during the period Nov. 30, 1977, to Dec. 13, 1977, in the Randsburg, California, Known Geothermal Resource Area (KGRA). This report summarizes the observed extra-low-frequency (ELF) data and least squares interpretation using a computer program developed by Anderson (1977). The results are given in tabular form along with observed and calculated amplitude and phase plots. In addition, one vertical electrical sounding (VES) was obtained and a graphical solution is included via a Schlumberger inversion program developed by Zohdy (1973).
