Eritrea programs / Eritrea project 661-0002 · 1996–1999 · U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
Granophyric blocks within late-Pleistocene pyroclastic flow ejecta from the Alid volcanic center, northeast Africa, are the rapidly crystallized, intrusive equivalent of pumice from the pyroclastic flow. DEC abstract (PN-ACJ-769)
The USGS was funded by USAID to undertake the first phase of a study of the geothermal energy potential in the eastern lowland region of Eritrea.1 Detailed geological studies indicate that a relatively young, large, shallow, and still hot magmatic heat source is probably present beneath the Alid volcanic center in the northern Danakil Depression of Eritrea.1 The studies recommend exploration drilling to depths of 1.5 to 2 km for an electrical grade geothermal resource.2

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
