Director at Large - Geothermal Canada
Geothermal Expert - Sproule

After completing undergraduate degrees in Geophysics and Physics at the University of Alberta, Gord began his career working in the geotechnical and environmental consulting industry as a near-surface geophysicist. In this role, he has completed geophysical project assignments across Western Canada in support of the environmental reclamation, pipeline, hydrogeology, geohazard, arctic engineering, and construction sectors.
In 2021, he began pursuing an MSc degree in Sustainable Energy Development (SEDV) at the University of Calgary with a capstone research project focused on mapping the economic potential of geothermal projects across Alberta. Gord is interested in the interdisciplinary aspects of geothermal energy and getting involved in work where society’s energy needs intersect with sectors that are fundamental to our standard of living (housing, agriculture, transportation, etc.). He has an interest in exploring the viability of geothermal energy in Canada and applying his near-surface geoscience background towards direct-use heating & cooling applications.
Gord is a registered Professional Geoscientist with the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) and a member of the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG).
