Background
Since 2013, I have been teaching various courses at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock
including:
- Physical Geology
- Earth and the Environment
- Historical Geology
- Surface Water Hydrology
- Hydrogeology
Prior to teaching at UA Little Rock, I worked 34 years as a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, managing a variety of projects during that period including:
- Characterization of the groundwater flow system of Yucca Mountain, Nevada and
vicinity (the potential site for a nuclear-waste repository) - Analyses of the groundwater flow system and hydrochemistry of coastal sabkhas in
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Groundwater modeling of flow systems in Arkansas, as well as Oklahoma, Kansas,
and Missouri
Research Interests
My research interests include:
- Changes in fractured-rock hydraulic properties as a result of thermally enhanced
pressure dissolution - Hydrochemical and physical properties of groundwater and surface water
- Groundwater flow modeling
- Sustainability of water resources
- Meteorological instrumentation
- Urban hydrology
