2021 Geoscience BC Minerals and Energy & Water Research Summaries Now Available
Vancouver, BC – January 31, 2022 – Research papers summarizing 19 Geoscience BC minerals, energy and water research projects and scholarships in 2021 are now available in the Summary of Activities 2021: Minerals and Energy & Water volumes.
Summary of Activities 2021: Minerals (Geoscience BC Report 2022-01) contains nine technical papers that report on progress from ongoing Geoscience BC minerals research projects. The papers contribute to meeting two strategic objectives: identifying new natural resource opportunities; and advancing science and innovative geoscience technologies. They describe minerals research from across the province, including updates on a surficial exploration program as part of the Central Interior Copper-Gold Research series, ongoing research into extracting rare earth elements from southeastern British Columbia coals as well as seven research papers from Geoscience BC scholarship recipients.

Summary of Activities 2021: Energy and Water (Geoscience BC Report 2022-02) contains 10 technical papers that contribute to meeting strategic objectives of identifying new natural resource opportunities; advancing science and innovative geoscience technologies; facilitating responsible natural resource development; enabling clean energy; and understanding water. The Energy papers include details on two new projects and there are three papers that are focused on induced seismicity in northeastern BC. An update on the second phase of research into the geothermal potential of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt and a paper on Water research in the Peace Region complete the volume.
