地热崛起组织宣布推出其现代化升级的“传奇与传承图书馆”（Legends and Legacy Library），这是一个焕然一新的数字平台，旨在让用户更轻松地查找、探索和使用地热知识，同时致敬那些为地热产业发展做出贡献的人们和成就。

更新后的图书馆通过更快的检索速度和更直观的跨设备界面（包括移动设备），提升了用户的研究体验。用户现在可以搜索海量的地热文献，并享受类似谷歌的拼写错误容错功能（模糊搜索），直接在浏览器中预览文档，并以更少的点击次数从搜索跳转到阅读。

地热崛起组织执行董事布莱恩特·琼斯博士表示：“这个图书馆旨在加速可操作的学习和知识转移，并降低学习阻力。”当知识易于获取时，就更容易在项目、政策和教育中应用。

该组织的图书馆员布莱恩·施密特（Brian Schmidt）多年来一直帮助管理馆藏，强调了可发现性的飞跃：研究人员应该但需要完美的拼写或完美的记忆才能找到他们需要的东西。该平台专为现实世界的搜索和下一代地热工作而构建。

致敬首批传奇人物：布莱克威尔和卡普阿诺。

伴随平台发布，地热崛起组织推出了一项传承特色：传奇人物图书馆，首先介绍两位公认的先驱，他们的工作持续影响着地热开发：

大卫·布莱克威尔博士，他是南方卫理公会大学地热实验室的创始人，地热资源委员会（现为地热崛起组织）的创始成员，也是全国通用地热数据和地图开发的领导者，这些数据和地图帮助定义了该行业如何评估地下热量和机遇。

路易斯·E·卡普阿诺二世（Louis E. Capuano Jr.）是全球公认的地热钻探先驱，曾两度担任地热资源委员会主席，并荣获GRC艾德林奖。他的职业生涯涵盖了具有里程碑意义的地热钻探工作，并在数十年间引领了行业发展。

“传奇人物图书馆”还包括对捐赠者的表彰以及持续支持的途径，旨在强化社区力量，维护并扩大地热知识的获取渠道。

Geothermal Rising announced the launch of its modernized Legends and Legacy Library, a refreshed digital platform designed to make #geothermal knowledge easier to find, explore, and use 锟� while celebrating the people and progress that built the industry.

The updated library improves the research experience with faster discovery and a more intuitive interface across devices, including mobile. Users can now search across a large body of geothermal literature with Google-like typo tolerance (锟絝uzzy search锟�), preview documents directly in the browser, and move from search to reading with fewer clicks.

锟絋his library is about accelerating actionable learning and knowledge transfer and lowering friction,锟� said Dr. Bryant Jones, Executive Director, Geothermal Rising. 锟絎hen knowledge is easy to access, it锟絪 easier to apply 锟� in projects, policy, and education.锟�

Brian Schmidt, the organization锟絪 Librarian, who has helped steward the collection锟絪 evolution over many years, emphasized the leap in discoverability: 锟絉esearchers shouldn锟絫 need perfect spelling or perfect memory to find what they need. This platform is built for real-world searching 锟� and for the next generation of geothermal work.锟�

Honoring first Legends: Blackwell and Capuano

Alongside the platform launch, Geothermal Rising is introducing a heritage feature: the Library of Legends, beginning with two recognized pioneers whose work continues to shape geothermal development:

Dr. David Blackwell 锟� founder of the SMU Geothermal Laboratory, a founding member of the Geothermal Resources Council (now Geothermal Rising), and a leader in the development of nationally used geothermal data and maps that helped define how the industry evaluates heat and opportunity in the subsurface.

Louis E. Capuano Jr. 锟� a globally recognized geothermal drilling pioneer, the first two-time President of the Geothermal Resources Council, and a recipient of the GRC Aidlin Award, whose career spanned landmark geothermal drilling efforts and decades of industry leadership.

The Library of Legends also includes donor recognition and pathways for ongoing support, reinforcing the community-powered mission of maintaining and expanding access to geothermal knowledge.
