  • Conceptualizing the Hydrogeothermal System at Sloquet Hot Springs on Unceded St'at'imc Territory in Southwestern British Columbia
    Conceptualizing the hydrogeothermal system at Sloquet Hot Springs on unceded St'at'imc territory in southwestern British Columbia by Ashley Van Acken Bachelor of Science, Vancouver Island University, 2017 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences Ashley Van Acken, 2021 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Conceptualizing the hydrogeothermal system at Sloquet Hot Springs on unceded St'at'imc territory in Southwestern British Columbia by Ashley Van Acken Bachelor of Science, Vancouver Island University, 2018 Supervisory Committee Tom Gleeson, Department of Civil Engineering Supervisor Kathryn Gillis, Department of Earth, and Ocean Sciences Departmental Member Dante Canil, Department of Earth, and Ocean Sciences Departmental Member Catherine Hickson, Tuya Terra Geo Corp. Outside Member iii Abstract Geothermal research in the southern Canadian Cordillera has typically focused on hot spring systems and predicting maximum temperatures at depth, estimating fluid circulation depths, and investigating the distribution of hot spring systems and their relation to major geological features that often control thermal fluid flow. Detailed fieldwork to develop local and regional conceptual models of these systems has rarely been conducted and to our best knowledge, never in partnership with a First Nations. The scope of this project was to work collaboratively with the local First Nation to conduct detailed structural, hydrologic and hydrogeologic fieldwork to develop local and regional conceptual models of Sloquet Hot Springs, on unceded St'at'imc territory.

Building on this early legacy of Canadian geothermal pioneers, the renewed organization is focused on providing a venue to discuss technical and academic aspects of the industry providing a forum for research, innovation, and collaboration. Join us! https://www.geothermalcanada.org/ Pan Canadian Society for Geothermal Research, Innovation & Collaboration The objectives of the Society are: To advance science and promote geothermal research in Canada To promote innovation in Canada in geothermal research To foster collaborative investigations between academia, companies and organizations in the field of geothermal research Current Board of Directors, Geothermal Canada (attending GRC ) Steve Grasby Katie Huang Maurice Dusseault Bastien Poux Ryan Dick Tiffany Fraser Jasmin Raymond Jeff Witter Catherine Hickson Kirsten Marcia Grant Ferguson Mafalda https://www.geothermalcanada.org/ Miranda Geothermal Canada Internationally https://www.geothermalcanada.org/ Some members of Geothermal Canada https://www.geothermalcanada.org/ Upcoming 2019 Conferences Mafalda Miranda https://www.geothermalcanada.org/ THE IMPORTANCE OF GEOTHERMAL TO CANADA https://www.geothermalcanada.org/ Geothermal History in Canada Much of Canada’s economy has been driven by the price of hydrocarbons. Geothermal has been driven by these peaks and valleys. During the mid 1970 (A), during the world oil A crises the Canadian government invested approximately 100 million (1974-1985: 2019 B dollars) in geothermal exploration.
