\nWater and energy are critical resources to our  state. Both are threatened by climate change.  UH is conducting two 5+ year-long projects on geothermal and groundwater resources.  The groundwater project discovered more groundwater on Hawaii Island than current models account for and a refinement of aquifer boundaries is in order.  How such results extend to other islands remains largely unexplored.  The geothermal-focused project expanded understanding of groundwater location and quality, collected data in support of residual heat and/or magmatic degassing into groundwater on each island, and measured elevated groundwater temperatures to a depth of 3500 feet. Geothermal has potential to displace Hawaii\u2019s current ~70% reliance on fossil fuels, at a cost to the state of $3B annually.  Surface geophysics and small footprint drilling of deep wells will help understand both groundwater and geothermal resources statewide.
