Dr. Gemma Mitjanas presented her research results in a webinar on 23 May 2024. Gemma currently a research fellow at the Sustainable Minerals Institute (University of Queensland). Gemma earned her PhD in Geology at the Universitat de Barcelona. Her thesis, entitled "Geophysical and geological characterisation of fault-controlled geothermal systems," forms the basis for her presentation. Abstract: Previous and new geological and geophysical datasets have provided the basis for

Ralf Oppermann of Optimal Resource Solutions presented this discussion on fault extraction from seismic data on 18 April as a part of the AGA webinar series. Members can access a copy of the presentation via the link below. Geothermal energy has the potential to play a very important role in the sustainable global energy mix. There are, however, several technical and economic challenges that need to be overcome to de-risk geothermal development and production and to help acce

Victoria University PhD Candidate Gaelle Joson will share a case study from regional Australia based on the results of her research on the socio-cultural, economic and environmental impacts of hot springs. Gaelle's PhD was sponsored by the AGA. The first phase of this research involved developing indicators for hot springs operations using the Delphi Technique. This involved seeking two rounds of advice from selected experts from around the world. Thirty-two experts from Au

Dr, John Bishop presented an update on the Lemont GeoLithium project - a dual-stream opportunity in Tasmania, working to develop a geothermal power plant with extraction of lithium (and potentially other metals) from the brine prior to its reinjection. Members can access a copy of the presentation slides as well as a recording of the presentation by clicking on the links below.

Martin Pujol of JRG Energy and colleagues presented case studies examining geothermal exploration methods and well testing procedures from various JRG projects around the world. The presentation will highlight exploration methods for blind and low temperature geothermal systems that are relevant to the Australian market.

Dr. Trey Meckel presented this webinar that was sponsored jointly by the AGA and PESA. Trey discussed the fast-changing world, resources and the energy transition with a focus on how skills developed in the petroleum industry can be applied to geothermal exploration and other decarbonisation pursuits.

Dr. Wedin discussed the synergy between geothermal and direct lithium extraction in the context of Vulcan's development plans in Germany. Members can also access a recording of the presentation.

Clare Baxter presented a webinar that discussed using Seequent's Leapfrog software to conduct a technical assessment of low temperature geothermal resources using examples from Europe.   Geothermal can be developed for a range of different applications. All of these require understanding of the subsurface and the resource. Seequent have been supporting the global geothermal industry since 2012 by developing fast, flexible and dynamic tools to model the subsurface. This webina
