The International Geothermal Association's (IGA) goal is "to encourage research, development, and utilization of geothermal resources worldwide through the compilation, publication, and dissemination of scientific and technical data and information." The website offers a multitude of information about geothermal energy around the world. Students can find educational resources about the history, nature, classification, utilization, and exploration of geothermal systems. Through an interactive map, users can find data on geothermal energy. Researchers can discover journals and upcoming conferences. Visitors can also learn how to take part in the IGA panel and discussion group.
