World Geothermal Congress 2020+1

The delayed WGC 2020+1 kicked off on 30 March, in virtual form, after being postponed from its original date in Spring 2020.   

The new format event will comprise a series of monthly virtual events, where over 2,000 papers will be presented, giving the audience the opportunity to interact with their respective authors and presenters. The highlight of WGC 2020+1 will be a three-day on-site/ hybrid conference in Harpa Conference Centre in Reykjavik, Iceland on 24-27 October 2021. This event will be streamed on-line, giving those of our community who still cannot travel a chance to join the action.

Altcom is scheduled to exhibit its microseismic services at the on-site event in October, subject to the global travel situation.

Dr Andrew Jupe of altcom is also due to present a technical paper on "Seismic Monitoring at the United Downs Deep Geothermal Power Project, Cornwall, UK", with co-authors Ryan LAW and Jane CHARMAN from geothermal Engineering Limited. This will be presented in a virtual session on 12th May.                         

Further details of WGC 2020+1 will be posted on our site as they become available.
