There are many ways to learn more about the field of geothermal energy. Contact geothermal industry associations for information on geothermal technology, educational requirements, and career options. For example, the International Geothermal Association offers an overview of geothermal energy at https://www.geothermal-energy.org/explore/what-is-geothermal. Read industry publications such as Geothermal Energy–Science, Society and Technology (https://geothermal-energy-journal.springeropen.com) to learn more about trends in the field. Perhaps there is a geothermal power plant in your state. Check to see if you can tour its facilities. Finally, talk to a geothermal energy industry worker about his or her career. Ask your science teacher or school counselor to help set up the interview.
