New Geothermal Data Website Launched (Arizona Geology)

The Arizona State Geologist Lee Allison rolled out the all new website for the National Geothermal Data System - www.geothermaldata.org at the Geothermal Resources Council Annual Meeting and GEA Expo in Reno this past week. 

You can search for data from 50 state geological surveys and a number of geothermal research centers and build mashups of maps or search through thousands of scanned reports.

The prime contractor on the NGDS design-build project, Boise State University, handed over the website to AZGS a month ago and they committed to getting an entirely new site and functionality built in time for the GRC meeting. 

Lee Allison said "The GRC Annual Meeting is the premier event for the geothermal industry and community in the U.S. It's grown dramatically and drew well over 2,000 attendees by my estimates, from all over the world."
