About this event
In response to requests from our membership, Geothermal Canada has pulled together a group of experts to provide a comprehensive course on geothermal development. Covering basic technical concepts to commercial and financial considerations, the course will be presented as 16 one hour sessions delivered weekly. Hosted by Dr. Catherine Hickson, P. Geo, a 40 year veteran of the geothermal industry, she will draw from the expertise of notable geothermal experts such as Dr. Steve Grasby, Geological Survey of Canada, Dr. Jasmin Raymond, INRS Quebec, Dr. Maurice Dusseault, University of Waterloo, Dr. Martyn Unsworth, University of Alberta, and others.
Free for Geothermal Canada members (see member email for promocode). Promocode to be inserted during reservation process.
Access to all 16 lectures is included with a Geothermal Canada membership ($40/year). Lectures will also be available on demand for members shortly after the live event. Become a member now!
The course is intended to be “a la carte” – each session is independent, but the sessions build on each other to provide a complete overview of the important aspects of geothermal development.
Lectures will be ~45 minutes and ~15 minutes of Q & A.
