Biography
Ron Antweiler is a hydrologist within the USGS-National Research Program whose work focuses on three main topics: 1. The statistical treatment of environmental datasets which contain less-than-detection limit data; 2. The geochemistry of inorganic compounds (including trace metals, rare-earth elements, and nutrients) in surface waters (mostly streams, rivers and lakes), usually associated with environmental problems or remediation efforts; and 3. Water budgeting, flooding and sedimentation in high alpine drainage basins. Ron has a Ph.D. in geochemistry from the University of Wyoming, an MA in mathematics from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a BA in geology and mathematic
