A Geothermal Resources Map for the World: Exploring InnerSpace Phase I - Knowing Earth

This session features:
Paul Markwick, Director, Knowing Earth
Helen Doran, Lead Geologist, Project InnerSpace
About the Speakers:
Paul Markwick is CEO of Knowing Earth, a scientific consultancy based in northern England. He has spent a career investigating the Earth system and applying this understanding to natural resource exploration. Paul's expertise includes global and regional tectonics, palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology and palaeoecology, on which he has published extensively. Paul has a BA from Oxford and a PhD from The University of Chicago.
Dr. Helen Doran holds the position of Lead Geologist at Project InnerSpace, carrying the responsibility for executing and delivering Phase I, the 'Global Mapping Project.' This initiative encompasses seven fully funded Project InnerSpace research grants, tailored to enhance the quality, precision, and metadata of critical subsurface datasets. These datasets collectively contribute to the development of an extensive global geothermal prospectivity map, poised to significantly expedite progress in geothermal exploration.
With a career spanning 23 years, Dr. Doran has deep expertise in the modelling of heat flow within sedimentary basins. Her initial involvement was in the oil and gas industry, followed by a more recent focus on the geothermal sector. She is utilizing her experience within Project InnerSpace to spearhead the advancement of geothermal exploration beyond traditional areas into previously unexplored sedimentary basins.
She has held technical leadership roles in Causeway GT, bp, and Ophir Energy prior to joining Project InnerSpace. Dr. Doran has co-authored several noteworthy publications, among them her latest book, currently in press: "Strike-slip terrains and transform margins; structural architecture, thermal regimes, and fluid systems."
