Biography
Specific projects include groundwater and sediment transport modeling, source water assessments, aquifer testing, estimation of low flows, and watershed water-quality and wetland characteristic assessments. He specialized in the use of GIS programming to investigate ground- and surface-water resources. After retirement in 2010, he became a Scientist Emeritus with the U.S. Geological Survey. He is currently working on the USGS national glacial aquifer study converting State well log data bases into standardized GIS data sets. He has standardized the lithologic descriptions into useable code and subsequently created several interpretive grids and maps. The grids include total sand and gravel thickness, texture based hydraulic conductivity, and bedrock surface altitude, and the maps include bedrock surface lithology.
