“We're excited to have had such great success during our recent stimulation and circulation testing,” said Dr. J. Moore. “Each test brings us closer to realizing the full potential of EGS and the important role it will play in world’s energy portfolio.” bit.ly/3QW2YG2

The #UofU-led Utah FORGE project achieved a crucial milestone in the quest to make enhanced geothermal a key component of the world's energy portfolio. attheu.utah.edu/science-techno…

Coming in hot! 🔥@ENERGY announces 3 pilot projects for enhanced geothermal systems funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. We applaud @fervoenergy, @Chevron, and Mazama Energy Company for advancing accessible #GeothermalEnergy in the U.S. 👉 bit.ly/49zqAY8

A thorough look at the exciting new advancements being made in geothermal & the players such as @utahforge, @fervoenergy, & many others researching new technologies to harness earth's heat for viable electricity production. @WIRED @GregoryJBarber @ENERGY wired.com/story/a-vast-u…

@TimMLatimer @ENERGY @SecGranholm @utahforge @drvolts This is great news. Nice work y'all! Exciting to see innovation in geothermal proven in the field. The future looks bright.

@ENERGY @SecGranholm @utahforge 17/There will be a lot of opportunities to learn more. We are hosting Fervo Tech Day in Houston, TX tomorrow to release more detailed results. For the academics out there, here is a preprint on EarthArXiv. And stay tuned for a @drvolts pod on Friday! eartharxiv.org/repository/vie…

1/Today I am thrilled to announce, after years of work, our team @fervoenergy has developed a major advancement in geothermal, proven it at the field scale, and is set to deliver commercial next-gen geothermal decades ahead of schedule. THREAD. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Lake Bonneville was a large, ancient lake that existed from about 32 to 14 thousand years ago. This storymap on Lake Bonneville summarizes geologic evidence of the most significant lake levels of the Bonneville basin over the past 30,000 years. Learn more–ow.ly/d4vI50Es1yk

Elliot Jagniecki co-authored a paper in the journal Geology in which they present the 1st observations and analysis of microorganisms and organic compounds in fluid inclusions in the Mars-analog mineral mirabilite, Na2SO4∙10H2O, from Great Salt Lake, UT ow.ly/9Ivs50P4ezS

Geologist Ben Erickson had the opportunity to fly in KSL's Chopper 5 to look at landslides from the air. Several new slides were discovered, and more are expected as snow continues to melt. For additional information on current landslide events visit–geology.utah.gov/hazards/landsl…

Today the media joined UGS to learn how we respond to geologic hazards and monitor active landslides in areas of relatively high risk to the public. Learn more about landslides and the work we are doing - at geology.utah.gov/hazards/landsl….
