Tyson is a Hydrogeologist with Aspect Consulting specializing in water resource development and water rights. Serving private and public sector clients, Tyson’s water rights experience includes both new appropriations – municipal, agriculture, fish propagation, and commercial/industrial purposes – and transfer/change of existing rights, including use of the State’s Trust Water Right Program (TWRP) for purposes of instream flow, habitat, and mitigation through water banking. Tyson’s strong background in analytical and numerical groundwater modeling is often used in the development of site-specific conceptual models describing groundwater-surface water interaction, saline intrusion, well hydraulics, and aquifer sustainability. These skills are also used in Tyson’s work in large-scale hydrogeologic characterization – such as regional tunnel alignments, contaminant fate and transport modeling, and construction dewatering design. Tyson has a BS in Soil, Water, and Environmental Science and a MS in Hydrology from The University of Arizona. Outside of the office, he can be found skiing the deepest of Cascade powder, on his bike, or fly fishing his favorite waters.
