  • Enjoy Hot Springs in America 11 BEST PLACES to ENJOY HOT SPRINGS in AMERICA
    11 Best Places to Enjoy Hot Springs in America 11 BEST PLACES TO ENJOY HOT SPRINGS IN AMERICA Belief in the healing properties of fresh, natural warm water dates back millennia. In Ancient Greece and Rome, public fresh water baths were considered sacred. Thermal baths provided rest, recreation and recuperation for healthy and wounded soldiers there. In North America, evidence of Paleo-Indian settlements near hot springs dates back more than 10,000 years. Ancients knew what science has since proven. Warm water relaxes, relieves and rejuvenates. Immersion has a calming effect on the body and mind. The intimacy and warmth nurture a special closeness to those with whom we share the experience. The natural setting refreshes our senses and resets our connection to the world we live in. The quest for therapeutic warm water experiences continues today. We present this list of America’s best hot springs to inspire you to learn the unique qualities of each location, to discover the joys of hot springs if you haven’t yet, and to remind you of how much you already love making time for a hot spring on a regular basis.

  • The Economic, Environmental, and Social Benefits of Geothermal Use in Oregon Andrew Chiasson Geo-Heat Center Oregon Institute Of
    The Economic, Environmental, and Social Benefits of Geothermal Use in Oregon Andrew Chiasson Geo‐Heat Center Oregon Institute of Technology October 2011 Oregon has a long and rich history of utilization of its geothermal resources. Today, the documented direct uses of geothermal waters are related to space and district heating, snow‐ melting, spas and resorts, aquaculture, greenhouses, and agribusiness. The Geo‐Heat Center estimates that there are over 600 direct use applications in Oregon, not including undeveloped hot springs. Boyd (2007) and Sifford (2010) provide excellent summaries of geothermal energy uses in Oregon, some of which are no longer operational, and others that have expanded their use. The first permanent geothermal power plant in Oregon was installed Figure 1. Physiographic regions of Oregon at the Oregon Institute of Technology Campus in (reproduced from graphic by Elizabeth L. Orr, 2010, and a handful of other geothermal power Geology of Oregon). projects are currently under development at the time of this report. A Brief Note on the Occurrence of Geothermal Resources in Oregon With so many uses of geothermal energy in Oregon, it is helpful to describe their occurrence in relation to geologic province and geographic county. Figure 1 shows the nine major physiographic regions of Oregon, indicating the State’s diverse geologic nature. Essentially, the eastern two‐thirds of Oregon (beginning in the Cascades) has known or potential geothermal Figure 2. Map of Oregon Counties. resources. Figure 2 is a map of Oregon counties.

Multicomponent geothermometry techniques were applied to new and historic water chemistry data in the north-central Oregon Western Cascades and the lower Wind River Valley in southern Washington in order to recalculate reservoir temperatures. Revised reservoir temperatures, water chemistry, and isotope data were used to determine relationships between hot springs in the north-central Oregon Cascades.

Title: Geology and geochemistry of hydrothermal alteration, eastern portion of the North Santiam mining area. APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF TifE TifESIS COMMITTEE: Michael L. Cummings, Chairman ~afV in H. Beeson Ansel G. Johns~ The Ruth Mine is a base-metal vein deposit near the eastern margin of a reported porphyry copper deposit in the Western Cascade Range in Oregon. Uplift of the Western Cascade Range has resulted in a deeply dissected terrain in which more than a kilometer of the stratigraphy overlying the porphyry-style mineralization is preserved and exposed. The stratigraphic units, which are middle Tertiary in age, have been given arbitrary letter designations beginning with the lowest unit (Unit A) through the uppermost unit (Unit D).
