August 9, 2025 Field Trip Start:  Colorado School of Mines Campus

Thank you for joining us for our second Geothermal Rising Colorado RIG geothermal field trip through Colorado's Front Range, as we unraveled the geological features that set up potential geothermal resources deep in the Denver Basin. This field trip delved into the heart of the earth's thermal energy, focusing on the Lyons Formation and Pre-Cambrian basement outcrops along the Front Range for their geothermal energy potential. Additionally, we will spent some time at the start of the trip learning about ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) by touring the newly constructed East Classroom building at Colorado School of Mines and the GSHP system that was engineered to heat and cool this building.   

The Colorado GR RIG was excited to visit to the US DOE-funded GLADE Project, arranged in coordination with Oxy.
