•Developed and modified groundwater availability models (GAMs), supporting multiple Groundwater Conservation Districts (GCDs) and the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) in managing water resources in the State of Texas•Evaluated and modified a conceptual and numerical model of groundwater flow to predict mine dewatering rates and impacts to surface water flows, and to design the location of groundwater extraction wells, in support of an environmental feasibility study in Colombia•Developed programmatic, reproducible tools and methods to efficiently process, analyze, and visualize complex environmental monitoring data provided by GCDs and TWDB, facilitating the modification and utilization of GAMs to understand the impacts of water demand by projected population growth, including the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston metropolitan areas

Blacksburg, Va

•Validated a decision-support modeling tool for evaluating remediation alternatives of contaminant source zones of residual non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL) •Quantified the uncertainty of NAPL persistence timeframes under multiple remedial scenarios for at Site ST012 at Williams Air Force Base (AFB), AZ•Developed a numerical model of groundwater flow and solute transport to evaluate previous remedial efforts for NAPL source control and contaminant plume attenuation at Site 11 at Naval Submarine Base (NSB), King’s Bay, GA •Developed and applied a cost-effective methodology for coupling the simulation of NAPL dissolution and contaminant transport with uncertainty analysis methods to assess data worth, and quantify toxicological risk at sites contaminated by chlorinated solvents and hydrocarbons•Elaborated in-progress and final reports for ESTCP project ER19-5223 funded by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), and published scientific/engineering findings at national conferences and in peer-reviewed journals
