United Kingdom: Virtual Conference to Examine Relationships Between Geoenergy and Society

Geoenergy and Society: In Theory and Practice - A Sustainable Earth Institute virtual conference (University of Plymouth)

Please join us for a one-day virtual conference on Thursday 30th January 2020 to examine the relationships between geoenergy and society, explored via a variety of disciplinary perspectives.

The aim of this virtual event is to draw together both academic and practitioner research and experience of the social factors and implications from across the spectrum of geo-energies, including but not limited to, geothermal power, carbon capture storage, oil and gas extraction, and from diverse methodological approaches, bridging geoscience, sociology, psychology, media and communications, politics, visual arts, and business.

Confirmed speakers include Professor Iain Stewart (University of Plymouth), Dr Marit Brommer (International Geothermal Association), and Professor Patrick Devine-Wright (University of Exeter), as well as the project team working on the UK's first geothermal power plant in Cornwall.
