I am a geoenvironmental engineer and hydrogeologist with research interests including environmental characterization, modeling, and experimental data collection related to unsaturated soil geotechnics and groundwater hydrology. I have expertise in the study and modeling of multi-phase flow and transport in a wide variety of geomaterials and have have worked with various environmental modeling tools and software, including HYDRUS, UNSATH, MODFLOW, HSSM, AERMOD, and CALPUFF. I have conducted research focused on hydrologic and contaminant transport modeling in landfills, mine waste and tailings, and abandoned mine lands. My current role focuses on groundwater flow modeling at the basin to small-watershed scale for assessment of water resources in the state of Montana. My work focuses on groundwater flow, groundwater-surface-water exchange and interaction, and groundwater contaminant fate and transport.Specialties: Modeling, Groundwater Hydrogeology, Vadose Zone Hydrogeology, Mining, Mine Closure, Geomaterials Testing, Environmental Modeling, Environmental Remediation Cost Estimation and Analysis, Environmental Awareness, Earth Science Education
