Geothermal Target Areas in Colorado as Identified by Remote Sensing Techniques

Published by Flint Geothermal, LLC | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 12:57 AM | Dataset Last Updated: August 23, 2021 at 08:12 PM
This layer contains the areas identified as targets of potential geothermal activity. The Criteria used to identify the target areas include: hot/warm surface exposures modeled from ASTER/Landsat satellite imagery and geological characteristics, alteration mineral commonly associated with hot springs (clays, Si, and FeOx) modeled from ASTER and Landsat data, Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) known thermal hot springs/wells and heat-flow data points, Colorado deep-seated fault zones, weakened basement identified from isostatic gravity data, and Colorado sedimentary and topographic characteristics.
