An exceptional earth science teacher kindled my interest in earthquakes and plate tectonics. Working as a geophysicist doing marine geology, I saw a need to maintain healthy freshwater supplies, and morphed into a geo-hydrologist. I apply geophysics for groundwater basin analysis, study aquifer mechanics and land subsidence, and model groundwater flow and transport at regional and local scales.

Simulation of Groundwater Flow in the "1,500-Foot" and "2,000-Foot" Sands and Movement of Saltwater in the “2000-Foot” Sand of the Baton Rouge Area, Louisiana
Saltwater encroachment has been detected in six aquifers, including the "1,500-foot" and "2,000-foot" sands, north of the Baton Rouge fault in East Baton Rouge Parish. The encroachment is in response to ground-water withdrawals, primarily for public supply and industrial uses, in Baton Rouge. Additional information is needed for water planners and managers in the Baton Rouge area to make decisions...
