Joseph N. Moore, PhD, received his MS and PhD degrees in geology from the Pennsylvania State Univ. in 1972 and 1975. After a few years as a uranium exploration geologist, he joined the Univ. of Utah Research Institute (now the Energy & Geoscience Institute), where his focus turned to geothermal energy. He currently holds appointments as a Research Professor in the Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering and as an adjunct professor in the Dept. of Geology and Geophysics at the Univ. of Utah. Since the mid-1970s, Moore has published more than 150 papers and reports on the geology and geochemistry of geothermal systems. His work has been supported by the U.S. Dept. of Energy, geothermal exploration and development companies, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the United Nations (UN), and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). In recent years, Moore served as the principal investigator of the successful Raft River, ID, EGS Demonstration Project, which illustrated the importance of cold-water injection as a tool for enhancing reservoir permeability. He currently serves as the managing principal investigator of Utah’s FORGE project.
