one GS-12 Supervisory Hydrologic Technician who, in turn, supervised

another Hydrologic Technician.

1.a. (1991-1994): Prototype-testing,

and associated research into optimal equipment and materials, of the

county single- and cross- hole hydraulic and tracer testing, and natural

gradient tracer testing, at the NC-EWDP-22 location in Southern

Nevada.

4.a.1. Currently (FY09), writing a report on the analysis

of the cross-hole hydraulic tests conducted at NC-EWDP-22. The report has

gone through colleague review.

4.a.2. Currently (FY09), writing a

report on the analysis of the natural gradient tracer test conducted at

NC-EWDP-22. The report has gone through colleague review.

4.b.

Principal Investigator for constructing a geostatistically-informed flow

and transport model of the alluvium at the NC-EWDP-22

location.

1. Modeled the effects of

geothermal development in the Valles Caldera on the ground water system of

the Jemez Mountains by creating a 3-D numerical two-phase model using the

USGS GEOTHER model at the time, predecessor to the present USGS

HYDROTHERM model.

2. Converted an existing numerical model of the

Tesuque Aquifer system to an equivalent USGS Modular (Modflow) model to be

used for adjudication of water rights by the New Mexico Sate

Engineer.

Please read my

9/1977-6/1981 work erxperince with Old Dominion into two parts:

(9/1977-5/1980) and (9/1980-6/1981) in order to insert my (5/1980-9/1980)

summer work experince with the USGS in

Professor Summer Internship

Recipient

I was invited by

Lenny Konikow to work during the summer of 1980 at the Reston National

Center with him to familiarize myself with his Method of Characteristics

solute transport program and to eventually implement modifications to the

program. I was able to initiate the work and make progress, but my stay in

Reston was not long enough to arrive at the point of making the changes

Lenny envisioned. This internship experience was very valuable to me. I

interacted, even if briefly, and learned from the top scientists of the

USGS like Lenny himself, John Ferris, Dave Appell, Gordon Bennett, and

John Bredehoeft simply by listening and asking some questions. That summer

in Reston, in 1980, launched my career with the USGS, and I was very

impressed with the scientific environment and its caliber in

Reston.

After the summer internship, I returned to complete one

more academic year with Old Dominion University as Assistant Professor

(9/1980-6/1981) and then started with the USGS district program in

Albuquerque, NM in 6/1981.
