Share Article
Chasing Gold is a non-profit organization aimed at providing the financial means for aspiring Olympians to do what they do best: Win medals for the United States of America. With 10 of the best beach volleyball players in the country already signed, Chasing Gold is making an immediate impact.
“The overall goal of Chasing Gold is to let these players focus on their craft without having three to five jobs and worried monthly how the bills get paid, the coaches get paid, can I eat this month. That way, they can perform at their best.”
Chasing Gold, Geysers and Geothermal Power With Carolina Muñoz-Saez

Geologist Carolina Muñoz-Saez is in the business of hydrothermal systems. Her specialty: studying natural plumbing networks that circulate hot water underground, and occasionally erupt above it. These drive the geysers and hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. In other locations, they provide energy for electricity generation or heating. Some host unique microbial life forms. And, under the right conditions, circulating waters may pick up gold, copper or other valuable commodities from surrounding rocks, and concentrate them; many of the world’s most productive mines are the giant dried-up remains of onetime hydrothermal systems.
