Dr. Susan Nash hosted a webinar in early December 2025 that focused on geothermal energy solutions for data centers and communities promoting an upcoming event in January, 2026 focused on subsurface energy solutions (here), which will include presentations on the use of natural gas, uranium, geothermal energy, hydrogen, and lithium.
Here are a few of the coming presentations:
1) Krisha Tracy, a Principal Strategic Business Developer at AWS, discussed the company's commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 and their need for reliable, dispatchable power for data centers.

2) Shuvajit Bhattacharya, a research associate professor from UT Austin presented on the versatility and challenges of geothermal energy, including recent technological advancements and a state-funded mapping project in Texas.
3) The webinar ended with an update from Kirsten Marcia, President and CEO, DEEP Earth Energy Production Corp.on a Canadian geothermal project that has evolved into a hybrid system combining geothermal and natural gas power generation, with significant economic and environmental benefits for the region.
