A new Geoscience BC project to share historical data about geothermal heat and power potential at Mount Meager has been released today.
The information, which is available on the Geoscience BC website can be used by First Nations leaders, experts, governments and others to better understand the characteristics of the rock types and subsurface geological structures that might contain geothermal resources. This is essential for assessing the viability of geothermal energy and heat ('direct use') in the area north of Whistler.
Geothermal researchers have been working in the Mount Meager area since the early 1970s, but their findings have never all been available in one place -- and much of it was not accessible to the public. The information provided by Geoscience BC today shares and links to raw data, maps, and reports from companies, government agencies, researchers and students who have worked in the area.
