Gregory Bryce Dyer

**** *. ******* ***

Panama City, Fl, 32405

850-***-****

Objective:

Seeking an entry to mid-level geophysicist/geologist position with an environmental consulting

firm. Specifically, I would like to apply my skills as a capable geophysicist to problems such as:

(1) karst terrain identification and modeling, (2) groundwater flow modeling, (3) borehole

geophysics and aquifer properties testing, and (4) utilizing 3D resistivity, seismic profiling, and

GPR to investigate subsurface features. Furthermore, I would like to play a lead or contributing

role in the interpretation of these studies and assist in constructing daily write-ups, project

summaries, or proposals.

Qualifications and Summary:

• Extensive experience in groundwater flow modeling through heterogeneous alluvial plain

and carbonate aquifer systems.

• Practical experience in aquifer properties testing (i.e., slug tests, pump tests, etc).

• Field experience in utilizing seismic refraction and reflection profiles to identify karst

terrains and coastal plain lithologies

• Lab and computer experience in processing seismic data and interpreting profiles

• Proficient at constructing 3D resistivity profiles, processing resistivity data, and

interpreting data (especially for karst terrains).

• Significant experience in constructing gravity profiles and electromagnetic surveys and

utilizing programs such as Oasis Montaj for processing and imaging. Very good at

interpreting these surveys for key geologic or anthropogenic features located in the

subsurface.

• Extensive experience in analyzing well log data (gamma, resistivity, etc) for rock

formations in central Florida (Hawthorne Fm) and coastal plain type sedimentary

sequences.

• Solid understanding of environmental geology, sedimentary geology, geophysics, fluvial

geomorphology, and hydrogeology.

• 3 years experience of 3D computer modeling using programs such as Matlab, SPW

Geochemists’ Workbench, ModFlow, and Basin2.

• 1 year experience using ArcGIS and ArcMap.

• Strong written (two grants received in graduate school) and verbal communication skills.

Relevant Work Experience:

Graduate Teaching Assistant, August 2008-Present

Auburn University, Department of Geology and Geography

Teach undergraduate Physical Geology, Hydrogeology, and Environmental Geology. Duties

include: introducing students to the fundamental concepts of geology, hydrogeology, and

environmental geology, conducting field based labs, grading labs and exams, and proctoring

lecture finals.

Graduate Research Assistant, May 2009-August 2009

USGS NEHRP, Auburn University, Department of Geology and Geography

Helped to develop a one-way coupled, 3D, time-dependent pore-pressure diffusion model which

investigates how subsurface fluids respond to strain generated by large magnitude earthquakes.

Undergraduate Research Assistant, August 2007-May 2008

Dr. Ray Russo, University of Florida, Department of Geological Sciences

Collected and processed seismic data from large earthquakes in the Scotia Sea region for the

purposing of using shear wave splitting as a method for measuring upper-mantle flow.

Lab and Field Technician, May 2007-August 2007

ASC Geosciences

403 W. 11th Street, Panama City, Fl 32401
