dc.description.abstractGeothermal energy provides a versatile, renewable energy opportunity well suited for northern Canadian communities. Early stages of geothermal exploration have commenced in collaboration with the Kaska Nation in southeastern Yukon. This research is for the purpose of community outreach and education; it is meant to contribute to the progress of geothermal exploration and development in Kaska Dena traditional territory and across the Yukon. Building on work by the Barkley Project Group and Mira Geosciences in evaluating geothermal resources along the Tintina Fault Zone, this report provides an interdisciplinary perspective on geothermal energy opportunities for the Kaska Nation. The study includes a review of geothermal resource understanding, potential social and environmental implications of geothermal development, and pre-feasibility economic evaluation of diesel replacement with geothermal. It is shown that geothermal energy could provide multiple heat and power applications that would serve the long-term socio-economic goals of remote, northern communities in the Yukon.
