A chartered geologist and scientist, Mark has spent nearly 15 years working on a diverse range of geothermal, geo-environmental, and hydrogeology projects. He also offers a specialist perspective on deep and shallow geothermal energy, an area where he has led research, feasibility studies, and design for various efforts across the UK.
Mark was the lead author of a study into the economic decarbonization opportunities and skills transition that deep geothermal energy can offer the UK. He’s helped local authorities to understand the relevant geothermal solutions within their districts by developing geothermal opportunity maps and supporting the technical delivery of ground source heat pump (GSHP) projects. He has also supported universities, hospitals and the private sector with their respective decarbonization plans.
Regularly working with developers, contractors, and regulators, Mark helps them understand and mitigate the risks associated with contamination and other geohazards that threaten to derail construction projects. He uses a combination of geological and hydrogeological modeling to inform engineering and contamination assessments.
