[Geolalumni] Geothermal drilling at Mount Baker, St. Helens

[Pete Stelling]

Hi all,

With the recent visible steaming from Mount Baker, King5 news interviewed one of the leads on the geothermal exploration effort at Mount Baker and Mt. St. Helens that will be continuing this summer.  We plan to drill 4-5 thermal gradient wells to measure downhole temperatures and retrieve water samples for chemical analyses.  Two of these wells will be drilled at Mount Baker.  Here's a link to the video King5 aired last night.

Best,
Pete
