The Stanford Geothermal Program conducts interdisciplinary research and training in engineering and earth sciences. The central objective of the Program is to carry out research in geothermal reservoir engineering techniques that will be useful to the geothermal industry. A parallel objective is the training of geothermal engineers and scientists for employment in the industry. The research is focused toward accelerated development of hydrothermal resources through the evaluation of fluid reserves, and the forecasting of field behavior with time. Injection technology is a research area receiving special attention. The Programs geared to maintain a balance between laboratory studies and matching field applications
