USA, New York:

Two Cornell Student Teams Selected for Federal Geothermal Contest (News Release - Cornell Chronicle)

The finalists will present at the GRC Annual Meeting, September 30- October 3, in Reno, Nevada, USA

Two Cornell student teams are among 10 selected nationally for phase two of a government competition to spark interest in geothermal careers and education, and findings from the winners may be used by industry to develop new geothermal sites.

The National Geothermal Student Competition, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, requires student teams to develop professional-quality research reports that address the use of one or more exploration technologies -- from the fields of geophysics, geochemistry, remote sensing and geology -- to develop a geothermal system in Idaho's Snake River Plain.
