Development of geothermal resources represents an opportunity to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. However, it is unclear that current resource assessments and site assessments are appropriate to the end goal of maximizing the potential of this resource. Most of these investigations have focused on measuring temperatures and heat flow but in many cases measurements of subsurface thermal and hydraulic properties are of equal or greater importance. These measurements have not been made in a systematic manner and it is unclear how to optimize the type, number and frequency of any measurement. This research will focus on answering these questions by examining the problem of data worth for existing data collection techniques and strategies. Several novel methods of data collection will also be developed in this research program and they will also be evaluated in the context of data worth.

开发地热资源是减少我们对化石燃料的依赖和减少温室气体排放的一个机会。 然而，目前尚不清楚目前的资源评估和场地评估是否适合最大限度地发挥这一资源潜力的最终目标。 大多数这些调查都集中在测量温度和热流，但在许多情况下，地下热和水力性能的测量是同等或更重要的。 这些测量尚未以系统的方式进行，并且尚不清楚如何优化任何测量的类型、数量和频率。 本研究将集中在回答这些问题，通过检查现有的数据收集技术和策略的数据价值的问题。 本研究计划还将开发几种新的数据收集方法，并将在数据价值的背景下对其进行评估。
