Graeme Beardsmore
Graeme received his PhD in geophysics from Monash University in 1996, for a project looking at thermal history modelling for petroleum exploration. He then worked 18 months with geothermal researchers in China and the United States. Returning to a research and teaching position at Monash, Graeme co-authored “Crustal heat flow: A guide to measurement and modelling” (2001; Cambridge University Press). He began working in the Australian geothermal industry in 2003, focussed on exploring and producing from Engineered Geothermal Systems. He has held the role of Technical Director of consulting company ‘Hot Dry Rocks’ since 2006. Graeme is also a Board Member of the International Geothermal Association, a Forum Member of the Western Pacific Regional Branch of that body, and a member of the International Heat Flow Commission, the Geothermal Resources Council, and the Australian Geothermal Energy Group.
