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.
