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.
