Post Your Geothermal Research on Geothermal Canada Students' Page
Geothermal Canada is currently creating a new Students’ Page, which will include links to student research, information about programs and courses in Canada, and pages for student chapters which have been formed at several universities.
We invite students post their geothermal research on the Students’ Page. If you would like to include your research, please send a link if published, or PDF if not published (such as a final course project or Capstone project, etc), as well as the reference to admin@geothermalcanada.org. We welcome research from current and graduated students.
Below is a sample of what the Student Research page will look like.

University of Calgary Geothermal Energy Lab Brings Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Energy Discussion
Researchers at the University of Calgary are hoping to connect all stakeholders early in this process with the new Geothermal Energy Lab.
“We can help ensure that regulatory bodies consider the research and development directions being taken by industry players so that they are ready to enable development once field trials or field developments start,” said co-lead and principal investigator Dr. Roman Shor, PhD.
How Geothermal Energy Could Power the Future
Over the last few years, a number of start-ups in the geothermal space have gained traction, such as Eavor Technologies, Fervo Energy, Sage Geoystems, and GreenFire Energy. While their technologies and approaches differ, all are trying to figure out how to access the “heat beneath our feet” in geographies that have traditionally been considered too difficult to reach.
