Biography

Terry Slonecker is a Research Geographer with the USGS/Eastern Geographic Science Center. He specializes in remote sensing and other geospatial analyses of hazardous waste and other fugitive contaminants. His current research interest include VIS/NIR/FTIR spectroscopy and imaging spectroscopy, especially as it relates to hazardous substances. He holds a Master’s degree in Geography and a Doctorate in Environmental Science, both from George Mason University. With 30+ years of experience with the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Geological Survey, he has served on many special assignments including the Gore-Chernomrydin Commission, the U.S. Group on Earth Observations, the Civil Application Committee, the Spring Valley World War 1 chemical weapons cleanup and has recently served as a remote sensing instructor in Afghanistan.
