Catherine is a geologist and senior executive who has been involved in the geothermal industry for more than 40 years. Starting as a student running temperature logs in gradient wells, she then went on to finish her PhD at UBC investigating the Wells Gray Clearwater volcanic field and its potential for geothermal energy. She then became a research scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC). In 2008 she left the GSC to join a pure play geothermal company as VP Exploration. In 2014 she joined the board of Dajin Lithium Corp. Dajin has brine based exploration projects in Nevada and Jujuy Province, Argentina, thus she “married” her expertise in volcanology with geothermal energy and Lithium brine exploration. Since 2008, she has been working globally on projects in over 14 countries overseeing all facets of both the geothermal and Lithium industry - from green field exploration projects to reservoir modelling and injection strategies, to raising funds for development in both the Lithium and geothermal space.
