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.

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.
