Abstract: The geothermal reservoirs at Roosevelt Hot Springs and Utah FORGE EGS share common host rocks comprising Oligocene-Miocene granitoids and Precambrian gneiss representing end-member conditions of convective and conductive heat flow that formed within a large-scale magmatic geothermal system. Native state convective heat transfer at Roosevelt Hot Springs of […]
