Abstract
The Geysers geothermal field located in northern California, USA, is the world’s largest electricity-generating geothermal facility. To delineate the spatio-temporal distribution of reservoir steam and recharge water, we have collected microseismic and magnetotelluric (MT) data using a dense array of stations in 2021. The microseismic and MT data have been inverted together using a 3D cooperative joint inversion workflow. The joint inversion exploits a cross-gradient structural constraint because electrical conductivity structures observed in the geothermal field are strongly correlated with
