Biography
Attended Wabash College, Purdue University (B.S. 1983), Indiana University (M.S. 1987, Ph.D. 1994). Received a B.S. from Purdue University with a geology major and mathematics minor. Received a M.S. from Indiana University with a major in hydrogeology and a minor in numerical methods. The M.S. thesis used numerical modeling to verify field evidence of ice-sheet surging during the Pleistocene epoch. Received a Ph.D. from Indiana University with a major in hydrogeology and a minor in geochemistry. The Ph.D. dissertation used hydraulic and geochemical modeling to determine that hydrated iron-sulfate minerals were responsible for acute acid-mine drainage events.
Research Interest
karst hydrology, isotope geochemistry, Lake Michigan, horizontal flow meter technologies, pesticide and nutrient fate, unsaturated zone instrumentation and transport modeling, high pH (slag) and low pH (coal mine) settings, surface and borehole geophysics, and wetland hydrology.
