Board of Regents, NSHE, obo University of Nevada, Reno would utilize DOE and cost share funds to research cost-effective characterization of geothermal reservoir properties from which drilling targets would be identified by utilizing existing and newly acquired seismic survey data to test and validate a cost-effective, non-invasive, seismic exploration method based on seismic interferometry.
