  M.Sc. Earth Sciences/Hydrogeology

  Activities and Societies: Earth Sciences Graduate Association President (1999) Managed a multi-year applied field research program to test capabilities of large multilevel groundwater monitoring systems and investigate co-mingled contaminant plumes formed from separate DNAPL source areas in a bedrock water supply aquifer. The research program utilized a combination of micro-scale (porewater and diffusion testing), meso-scale (depth-discrete hydraulic testing and fracture monitoring) and macro-scale (aquifer-scale groundwater flow analysis) data sets.
