On June 26, 2019, Geoscience BC selected ten post-graduate geoscience students to receive a prestigious scholarship award and Geothermal Canada would like to congratulate all of the recipients. We are also excited to see two projects related to geothermal- congratulations to Theron Finley of the University of Alberta and to Ashley Van Acken of the University of Victoria!
