The overarching goal of this United States-New Zealand workshop on geothermal systems is to bring together researchers and industry representatives from New Zealand with senior and junior researchers and graduate students from US institutions, with the goal of forming long-term funding partnerships and research collaborations. The workshop will consist of the following five key activities: A. It will provide a venue for industry to educate researchers on their needs and the challenges of characterizing, monitoring, and managing hydrothermal reservoirs; B. Researchers will be given the opportunity to present their own research and discuss how it may be useful for the investigation of hydrothermal systems; C. Both researchers and industry representatives will offer their ideas regarding future challenges in the study of hydrothermal systems; D. Representatives of potential funding venues (e.g., industry, NSF, DOE) will be invited to explain their funding priorities and to discuss how workshop participants can become involved; E. Workshop participants will collaborate on the development of a proceedings that will be available for broad distribution to the US and NZ communitiesThese activities will take place within a framework of professional talks, moderated panel discussions, informal group interaction, and a one-day field trip. During the final day of the workshop, breakout groups will outline and draft the series of white papers that will form the basis of the workshop proceedings. This joint NZ-US workshop will be held at the Mighty River Power Rotorua Campus. It will be an important venue for acquainting US researchers with the work in progress in New Zealand, for making researcher-industry contacts, and for showcasing current US research in hydrothermal systems and EGS to New Zealand academics and industry representatives. The workshop also offers a training opportunity for students at US academic institutions. In addition to the training these students may receive, they will have the opportunity to meet a broad spectrum of hydrothermal and EGS researchers from the US, NZ, academia and industry. These interactions will provide a powerful means of energizing student interest in geothermal research, and may prove formative for these students? careers. It is also envisioned that several collaborative proposals on geothermal energy exploration and utilization will be developed and submitted to funding agencies in the US and New Zealand.

美国-新西兰地热系统研讨会的总体目标是将新西兰的研究人员和行业代表与美国机构的高级和初级研究人员和研究生聚集在一起，目的是建立长期的供资伙伴关系和研究合作。 讲习班将包括以下五项主要活动： A.它将为工业界提供一个场所，教育研究人员了解他们的需求， 表征、监测和管理热液储层的挑战; B。研究人员将有机会展示自己的研究成果， 讨论它如何有助于热液系统的调查; C.研究人员和行业代表将提供他们的想法， 热液系统研究的未来挑战; D.潜在供资场所的代表（例如，行业，NSF，DOE）将 请他们解释他们的资金优先事项，并讨论如何 参与者可以参与其中; E.讲习班参加者将合作编写一份会议记录， 这些活动将在专业会谈、主持小组讨论、非正式小组互动和为期一天的实地考察的框架内进行。 在研讨会的最后一天，分组将概述和起草一系列白色文件，这些文件将构成研讨会议事录的基础。 本次新西兰-美国联合研讨会将在Mighty River Power Rotorua校园举行。 它将成为向美国研究人员介绍新西兰正在进行的工作、建立研究人员与工业界的联系以及向新西兰学术界和工业界代表展示美国目前在热液系统和环境地质服务方面的研究的重要场所。 该研讨会还为美国学术机构的学生提供了培训机会。除了这些学生可能接受的培训外，他们还将有机会结识来自美国、新西兰、学术界和工业界的广泛的热液和EGS研究人员。 这些互动将提供一种强有力的手段来激发学生对地热研究的兴趣，并可能对这些学生产生影响？careers. 还设想将制定关于地热能勘探和利用的几项合作提案，并提交给美国和新西兰的供资机构。
