National Geothermal Academy The University of Nevada, Reno will host the second annual National Geothermal Academy this summer.
UNR was chosen to host the eight-week session of courses by a cooperative of top geothermal schools because of its expertise in geothermal research and exploration and the abundance of geothermal activity in Nevada.
“The National Geothermal Academy is drawing a strong student audience again in 2012, and international participation has increased significantly,” said Wendy Calvin, director of the Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy. “We are creating a program that will benefit geothermal development not just in the state, but nationwide and worldwide.”
The academy will run from June 18-Aug. 10 with instructors from Cornell University, the University of Calgary, Southern Methodist University, the Oregon Institute of Technology, Stanford University, the University of Utah, and West Virginia University as well as recognized industry leaders and consultants.
