Abstract

Geochemical and geophysical measurements at Mount Hood are being made by a team of scientists from various institutions for the Department of Energy. Norman Goldstein of the University of California's Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory explains that locating sources and track pathways of hot water circulating within the volcano may help engineers use the geothermal potential of Mount Hood. Hot geothermal waters could help heat nearby ski lodges in the Mount Hood resort area, and if higher temperatures are available, they could operate steam‐driven turbines to generate electricity for the nearby city of Portland.
