Mack Kennedy, a geochemist in the Energy Geosciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, California (and former Geothermal Systems Program Lead), received the Geothermal Special Achievement Award from the Geothermal Resources Council, one of the world’s preeminent geothermal associations, during its 41st Annual Meeting held in Salt Lake City, Utah. Kennedy was recognized for his outstanding contributions and dedication to developing the science and engineering needed for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS).
In particular, his work in noble gases and isotope geochemistry related to geothermal systems has had a significant and lasting impact on the understanding of geothermal system evolution and has provided a valuable tool related to geothermal system exploration.
