The proposed work is in the area of groundwater and low-temperature geothermal energy. Canada needs to develop sustainable, affordable and environmentally-sound energy alternatives. One such source is simply the low grade energy stored underground, and this is commonly exploited with heat-pumps and/or groundwater wells, and often referred to as "geoexchange". The use of this technology has seen considerable expansion world-wide in recent years. However, new scientific findings indicate that increasing geothermal development will require a greater degree of understanding of heat and groundwater flow in the subsurface.

拟议的工作是在地下水和低温地热能领域。加拿大需要开发可持续、负担得起和无害环境的能源替代品。其中一种来源就是储存在地下的低品位能量，这通常是通过热泵和/或地下水井来开采的，通常被称为“地质交换”。近年来，这项技术的使用在世界范围内得到了相当大的扩展。然而，新的科学发现表明，增加地热开发将需要对地下热量和地下水流动有更大程度的了解。
