Insider perspective

The crucial role of community engagement and innovation in geothermal exploration

What does it take for seismic campaigns in geothermal exploration to gain public acceptance? Discover a unique perspective on this critical question....

Philippa Decker, an Environmental Geologist based in Switzerland, recently joined a seismic crew from GEO2X SA on a geothermal exploration project in her hometown of Nyon. In her article for ThinkGeoEnergy, Philippa shares an insider’s view of conducting seismic surveys in a semi-urban setting. From navigating permitting challenges to the acquisition process, she explores:

  • The real-world impact on local communities
  • How new, high-resolution 3D seismic data can dramatically improve the success of identifying geothermal resources

Gain valuable insights into the intersection of science, community, and sustainability in geothermal exploration by reading this unique case study linked below.
