In the early 2000s, prompted by climate change, Steve Grasby, a senior research scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada, revisited Jessop's work. Jessop and his colleagues had surveyed both the Canadian Cordillera — mountain ranges mostly in B.C. and Yukon, and parts of Alberta and N.W.T. — and sedimentary basins, collecting data on what heat resources could be used to potentially generate electricity.
Alan Jessop, a retired federal government scientist, photographed with two reports summarizing a decade's worth of research into geothermal potential in Canada. Grasby, whose work now includes ongoing exploration of geothermal on Mount Meager, started getting a lot of mail from former scientists, including Jessop.
