technological innovation in remote sensing, field-data recording, GPS

coordination of field data-stations - adverse-terrain training and

operations - team development - SOP finalization

Project Director

. Preparation of environmental-permit applications for large industrial

operations

My activities center on groundwater geology and geotechnical site

investigations. I am familiar in detail with subsurface investigations,

and with groundwater investigation and analysis in all of the major

geologic terranes, including:

. Karst mapping and flow

. Confined/unconfined

. Isotropic/anisotropic

. Homogeneous/inhomogeneous

As a Site Manager and Principal Investigator for field investigations, my

activities and experience range from the Bahama Platform to the Rocky

Mountains, from Iceland's lava fields to Puerto Rico's rainforests. In all

of these diverse areas, I successfully manage field teams occasionally

exceeding 100 personnel in accomplishing the objective, as well as various

scientific, technical and heavy-equipment subcontractors.

With dominant specializations in the fields of engineering geology and of

environmental geology, engineering and regulatory affairs, I also have

considerable experience in traditional geologic practices, particularly in

the development and protection of groundwater supplies. Throughout my

career, my investigations of and site management for interdisciplinary

scientific and engineering programs concern the presence and effect of

hazardous chemicals (including chemical warfare agents) and radioisotopes

in ground and surface waters, and in soils.

A variety of clients comprise my representation for consultation and

technical services, including: Large and small industrial corporations;

legal firms and regulatory agencies; nuclear and conventional power-

generation stations; and federal and local governmental administrations.

These services range through preparation of programs for: Regulatory

compliance; design of remedial action programs; technical Quality

Assurance/Quality Control; design and evaluation of secure (chemical and

radiological), and municipal and industrial landfills; evaluation and

development of groundwater resources; protection of coastal groundwater

supplies from salt-water intrusion; and precision investigation of natural

and artificial subsurface structures for geotechnical stability.

Across all phases of projects, my personal responsibilities begin with the

preparation of the technical program and budget, and continue through the

detailed execution of the program to the preparation and presentation of

the final report, both to the client and to any government agency concerned

with the program.

Throughout my career, I consistently introduce innovative technologies to

the professional practice of the firms with which I work. Similarly, I

maintain proficiency with traditional methods of geologic and geohydrologic

analysis to verify the products of innovative technologies and to promote a

more complete understanding of the details of investigations by all project

personnel.
