Representative Project Experience

Deep Vadose Zone Characterization and Flow/Contaminant Transport Modeling; Principal investigator on several studies to investigate deep groundwater recharge and nitrate/pesticide transport in thick, heterogeneous, alluvial vadose zones; including field characterization, laboratory measurements, and advanced computer modeling.

Groundwater Modeling Research Projects; Principal investigator on projects involving the development of basin groundwater- and surface water models, e.g., for the development of a conjunctive use management strategy in a 1,500 sq. mile watershed, eastern Tulare Lake Basin, California, and for sustainable groundwater management that protects base-flow conditions in the Scott River, Klamath Basin, California; development of a regional stochastic groundwater model for the assessment of deep groundwater contamination from shallow saline water in a 550 square mile watershed in the Western San Joaquin Valley, California; development and application of groundwater transport modeling software with applications to California's Central Valley and Salinas Valley. Modeling projects involve model conceptualization, data compilation, data processing, integration of geostatistical, GIS, database, and groundwater modeling software (GSLIB, ArcGIS, MS Access, MODFLOW, MT3D, RWHET), programming (Fortran, Matlab, Comsol, R), model calibration, application, and research.

Contaminant Emission and SubsurfaceTransport in (Animal) Agriculture; Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator on a suite of research and extension projects dealing with groundwater contamination from dairies and other confined animal facilities, and from other agricultural landuses; long-term pollution; field reconnaissance, monitoring, groundwater modeling (flow, transport, quality); development of monitoring networks and best management practices; environmental fate and transport of salts, nitrate, pathogens (Cryptosporidium, E. Coli H7 O157, Salmonella, Campylobacter), antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals, steroid hormones, groundwater forensics related to animal farming; mathematical/computational methods for fate and transport modeling, upscaling across bench-, plot-, field-, farm-, to regional scale.

Pathogen Transport of C. parvum in Porous Media; Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator on two projects to develop a quantitative model, to estimate transport properties of Cryptosporidium parvum in porous media, and to evaluate the role of subsurface transport in buffer strips near surface waters.
