Geothermal Canada is excited to announce a new ‘Students’ Page’, which includes a Monthly Feature, Student Research, and geothermal Programs and Courses in Canada. We hope to continue building up these pages to support and promote geothermal research and development, and proudly present student research.
If you would like to showcase your Student Research, please email students@geothermalcanada.org.
Geothermal Canada will be hosting their 2020 Annual General Meeting on June 24, 2020 at 10:30am MT. Invitees are Geothermal Canada members in good standing eligible to vote. A member is not in good standing if their membership payment is over 6 months due. For the past 2 years, Geothermal Canada AGMs have coincided with major Canadian conferences to increase the number of attendees who can attend in person. This year, the AGM will be held electronically over Zoom. Members in good standing will receive a link.
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.
