EDUCATION

University of California, Santa Barbara, CA December 1982

• Bachelor of Arts – Geological Sciences, (mainly geophysics courses)

• Colorado School of Mines and the University of Colorado at Boulder-

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) 1989 to Present

PHYSICAL SCIENTIST III (COAL GEOLOGIST), Denver, CO

• Directly responsible for the operation of CGS’s Federal and State coal grants for research purposes. Duties include providing data management, organization and layout of project steps with geologic goals. Responsible for identifying and proposing Colorado coal projects with issues ranging from coal resource evaluations to coalbed methane studies. Specialize in digital surface to subsurface coal bed correlation studies. Using GIS, PETRA, MS Access and Excel to maintain stratigraphic and coal sample databases for the eight coal regions in Colorado. Responsible for annual reports about the Colorado coal industry status regarding economics, production, and reserves. Responsible for mapping fracture patterns related to coal sequences and correlating coal beds in basin-wide studies. Most recent study on trace element chemistry at active Colorado coal mines for hazardous air pollutant characterization. Built detailed stratigraphic coal databases for the Raton Basin, San Juan Basin, Lower White River, Somerset, and Yampa coal fields for Coal Availability in Colorado.

• Earlier studies at the CGS included landslide investigations, environmental characterizations for the State’s 500 underground storage tanks, and geologic mapping on seven geologic quadrangles. Authored over 24 CGS publications: vita available upon request.

Research and Planning, International (RPI) December 1987 to June 1989

GEOLOGIST, Boulder, CO

• Responsible for maintaining stratigraphic databases for basin-wide petroleum studies. Responsible for subsurface stratigraphic correlations on geologic units on three basin projects: Permian Basin (Fusselman study), Powder River Basin (Upper Cretaceous strata), and the Michigan Basin (Dundee Fm).
