Memos Relating to 2011 Field Checking of CIRES ASTER Thermal Targets

In 2010 and 2011, Flint Geothermal commissioned CIRES from the University of Colorado to attempt to detect "blind" or buried geothermal systems using remote sensing. CIRES utilized thermal infrared bands from ASTER and LANDSAT satellite imagery to detect areas of warm ground in parts of Colorado. During the summers of 2011 and 2012, geologists from Geothermal Development Associates of Reno Nevada performed "ground truthing" or site assessments on a number of these thermal targets, as well as known geothermal systems at or near the targets. This dataset consists of a number of memos from CIRES and GDA describing the thermal targets and fieldwork performed at them.

在2010年至2011年间，弗林特地热公司委托科罗拉多大学CIRES尝试利用遥感技术探测‘盲’或埋藏的地热系统。CIRES运用了来自ASTER和LANDSAT卫星影像的热红外波段，以探测科罗拉多部分地区地表温暖区域。2011年至2012年的夏季，内华达州雷诺的Geothermal Development Associates的地质学家对这些热目标以及目标附近或其周边的已知地热系统进行了‘地面核实’或现场评估。该数据集包括CIRES和GDA撰写的一系列备忘录，描述了这些热目标以及在其上进行的野外工作。
