The Garibaldi Geothermal Volcanic Belt Assessment Project is an “ongoing project is assessing the geothermal potential of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt in BC’s Southwest Region, building on research stretching back to the mid-1970s. The multi-partner collaborative project is using modern geophysical and geological techniques and concepts.” This involves researchers from the Geological Survey of Canada plus 7 Universities (UBC, SFU, DC, UofA, UofC, ETH, Quest). The data collection from summer 2019 included 34 people in the field (375 person days).
On May 7, 2020, Geoscience BC hosted an online Open House meeting to discuss the details and results of the 2019 field work with presentations from Dr. Steve Grasby and Geoscience BC President Carlos Salas. Both presentations and a recording of the meeting are available on the project website.
