On June 17, 1986, a continuously cored hole was completed in Long Valley Caldera, approximately 2 km northeast of the town of Mammoth Lakes, Calif. The primary purpose of the hole is to provide access for periodic measurement of the thermal gradient, pressure, and chemistry of water in the thermal aquifer of the caldera's southwestern moat. The hole also investigates the geothermal energy potential in the vicinity of Mammoth Lakes. Core and fluid samples will be available for study by interested scientists. |
