Please accept our personal invitation to attend the National Geothermal Data System (NGDS) Workshop, during the Geothermal Resources Council Annual Meeting and Geothermal Energy Association Annual Expo next week.
This informative workshop –"Drilling Down: How Legacy and New Research Data Can Advance Geothermal Development" (PDF)—will be hosted in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 2, 2013 in the Grand Ballroom – Room 118, MGM Grand Hotel 2pm-5pm.
The National Geothermal Data System (NGDS) – a free, online, digital data network – is on track to launch in 2014, aggregating national geothermal-relevant data from across the geosciences. Information from all the Energy Department's RD&D projects and all 50 state geological surveys states is represented to serve the geothermal community and ultimately lower the cost and risk of power plant development. With numerous ways to discover, access, map, and manipulate the data via online tools and the software of choice, stakeholders can channel research efforts more effectively.
Stop by Booth 336 at the GEA Expo for a LIVE DEMO and to test the NGDS User Interface! In preparation for a 2014 launch, developers need your input to make data easily accessible. Hours: Monday, 9/30 - Noon to 5 pm; Tuesday, 10/1 - 9 am to 6 pm; Wednesday, 10/2 - 9 am - noon.
