This project focused on quantifying the alteration of the host volcaniclastic rock and how this transformation impacted heat transfer during propagation, flow, and cooling, then basin tectonics and hydrology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Analysis of core and image logs from the Mount Baker, WA temperature gradient hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Summary of fracture population mapped in acoustic borehole televiewer log (left) and in core (right). Modified tadpole plot shows the shows the variation in fracture attitude with depth. Note the core reveals far more fractures than are mapped in the image log and a greater diversity of fracture attitude.<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
