In the latest scientific webinar, Dr. Stuart Simmons examines some of the most common surface expressions of geothermal energy. These resources are frequently found near volcanic centers, fault belts, and mountainous regions, manifesting as hot springs, steam discharges, and related thermal features. This discussion covers the different types of surface thermal expressions, their connection to shallow hydrology and deep hydrothermal fluid flow, as well as their impact and evolution over time.
Dr. Simmons is the Technical Expert on geology and geochemistry at Utah FORGE, and a Research Professor at the Energy & Geoscience Institute (EGI) and University of Utah Department of Chemical Engineering. This webinar builds on his earlier presentation addressing conventional geothermal energy resources, which can be found here.
Utah FORGE has begun an extended circulation test at its field laboratory near Milford, Utah. The test is expected to continue for up to four months, allowing researchers to evaluate long-term reservoir performance, thermal decline, water loss, and water treatment requirements under continuous flow conditions.
Dr. Kristie McLin joins the Stream-Flo of Consciousness podcast to discuss enhanced geothermal systems, Utah FORGE research, industry collaboration, and the future of geothermal technology.
The Energy & Geoscience Institute announces Dr. Kristie McLin as Director of Research and Science and new Principal Investigator of the Utah FORGE project, succeeding Dr. Joseph Moore.
