The Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV) is now working with the Latrobe Valley Authority and the University of Melbourne to carry out geothermal mapping of the Gippsland region to provide more local organisations with the confidence to utilise geothermal resources.

The Victorian Connection has a feature story showcasing the work underway. This has been published to tie in with National Science Week to showcase the work of GSV’s geoscientists.
