Volunteering Opportunity: Geoscience BC Geothermal Technical Advisory Committee
Applications are now closed
Vancouver, BC – March 1, 2021 – Geoscience BC is seeking volunteers to join our Geothermal Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), a group of experts that identifies, plans, develops and reviews our independent, relevant and public geothermal related earth science research in British Columbia.
Geoscience BC’s Minerals, Oil & Gas and Geothermal TACs are an essential part of our collaborative and innovative organization. The TACs generate, solicit, review and recommend proposals for Board approval, and their expertise is vital to the success of our research.
We plan to welcome up to three new members to the Geothermal TAC, which currently has eleven members. This will add to the committee’s knowledge of geoscience and geothermal resources in BC, and expand its field of expertise.
New Geothermal TAC members will be part of our valuable network of expert volunteers with decades of combined experience. Current members are:
- Cathie Hickson: Geothermal Canada and Chair, Geothermal Technical Advisory Committee
