Geoscience BC thanks the provincial government for granting $5 million in one-year bridge funding to support earth science research in British Columbia.
The new funding will allow Geoscience BC to continue its minerals, energy and water related public earth science for an additional year, with many ongoing and new research projects set to begin in 2019-20.
New Geoscience BC projects launching in 2019 include a regional assessment of geothermal energy potential in the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt in partnership with the Geological Survey of Canada.
