In June, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) researcher Koenraad Beckers - a past GRC Scholarship Awardee - will bike from Boise, Idaho, to Yellowstone National Park. The ride is typical for this avid biker. The reason, though, is unusual. Passionate about geothermal energy research, he wants to observe the hot water in both places.
"It's a little geothermal team bike ride, if you will," said Koenraad. He'll be joined by his former Cornell University Ph.D. adviser, another biking enthusiast who encouraged him to ride in Upstate New York, as well as some other friends.
"We’ll visit Boise's geothermal wells and the plants where they run their geothermal system, and also do some sightseeing. Then we'll go to Yellowstone, which is a beautiful place, but also has a lot of geothermal activity."
