Jared Peacock
Jared Peacock is a research geophysicist at the Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center in Menlo Park, CA. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Adelaide and B.S. and M.S. from the Colorado School of Mines, all in geophysics. Since joining the USGS In 2013, his expertise is in magnetotellurics, focusing on characterizing volcanic, geothermal, and mineral systems in 3D.

The MTPy software package for magnetotelluric data analysis and visualisation The MTPy software package for magnetotelluric data analysis and visualisation
The magnetotelluric (MT) method is increasingly being applied to a wide variety of geoscience problems. However, the software available for MT data analysis and interpretation is still very limited in comparison to many of the more mature geophysical methods such as the gravity, magnetic or seismic reflection methods. MTPy is an open source Python package to assist with MT data...

Geophysical Characterization of the heat source in the Northwest Geysers, California Geophysical Characterization of the heat source in the Northwest Geysers, California
The Geysers, in northern California, is the largest energy producing geothermal field in the world. Looking to expand capacity, the operator Calpine Corporation developed an anomalously hot (~400 °C at 2.5 km depth) part of the field in the northwest Geysers, including testing of an enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Though the area is anomalously hot, geophysical methods have failed to...

Discovery of a blind geothermal system in Southern Gabbs Valley, western Nevada, through application of the play fairway analysis at multiple scales Discovery of a blind geothermal system in Southern Gabbs Valley, western Nevada, through application of the play fairway analysis at multiple scales
The Great Basin region is capable of generating much greater amounts of geothermal energy than currently produced. Most geothermal resources in this region are blind, and thus favorable characteristics for geothermal activity must be synthesized and methodologies developed to discover new commercial-grade systems. The geothermal play fairway concept involves integration of multiple...

Geothermal potential of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon: Evidence from detailed geophysical investigations Geothermal potential of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Oregon: Evidence from detailed geophysical investigations
Recent geologic and geophysical investigations were undertaken in northeastern Oregon to better assess earthquake hazards in the region and determine relative favorability for geothermal energy development on lands of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR). This work was funded in part by a Bureau of Indian Affairs grant awarded to the CTUIR to identify areas...

A geophysical characterization of the structural framework of the Camas Prairie Geothermal System, southcentral Idaho A geophysical characterization of the structural framework of the Camas Prairie Geothermal System, southcentral Idaho
Play Fairway Analysis methods, utilizing existing geologic, thermal, geochemical, and geophysical data were employed in an initial assessment of geothermal resources in the Snake River Plain. These efforts identified the Camas Prairie in southcentral Idaho as a region with elevated resource potential. Subsequent efforts included structural and geophysical data collection to identify the...

Crustal inheritance and a top-down control on arc magmatism at Mount St Helens Crustal inheritance and a top-down control on arc magmatism at Mount St Helens
In a subduction zone, the volcanic arc marks the location where magma, generated via flux melting in the mantle wedge, migrates through the crust and erupts. While the location of deep magma broadly defines the arc position, here we argue that crustal structures, identified in geophysical data from the Washington Cascades magmatic arc, are equally important in controlling magma ascent...
