Eric J. Klingel a geologist with 48 years of experience which includes geothermal exploration, petrology, and hydrogeology in academic, regulatory and commercial venues. I have taught at four universities and worked at seven consultant firms. I have worked in 38 states and Turkey, Belgium, Indonesia, Chile and the Caribbean using a variety of my geologic skills and experience. Over the last twelve years my main work has been geologic site characterization at geothermal plays and developing early geothermal exploration techniques involving magmatic and amagmatic gases to determining thermal energy at depth to reduce risk and costs of geothermal exploration.
