Kerry L. Burns grew up in Tasmania. As a geologist, in the 1950s and 1960s he explored the Tasmanian wilderness, the Australian outback, and Cordillera Darwin in Tierra del Fuego in South America. His experiences in the coal industry of Australia and the United States led him to look for alternate sources of energy, and at Los Alamos National Laboratory, he participated in the Hot Dry Rock geothermal projects at Fenton Hill, New Mexico and Clear Lake, California. He is currently a geothermal energy consultant for projects in Australia, Europe and North America. Cameron M. Burns is a climber, writer, and editor based in Colorado.
