The Geothermal Resources Council invites you to present your latest technical work in geothermal research, exploration, development and utilization at GRC’s 36th Annual Meeting September 30- October 3, 2012 at the Peppermill Resort in Reno, Nevada, USA. Our theme this year is “Geothermal: Reliable, Renewable, Global.”
Anyone who wants to present a paper at the GRC annual meeting must submit a paper!
Please note: the GRC is no longer requiring an abstract to be submitted first. We are requiring completed draft papers as the first step. The Draft Paper submission deadline is May 4, 2012. |
