Paul Heisig

Biography

Paul Heisig has worked as a hydrologist for the U.S. Geological Survey on Long Island (1985-89) and Upstate New York (1989-present).

 

His work has focused on:

1)     the effects of land use on ground-water quality and stream low-flow water quality

2)     use of a multidisciplinary approach to conceptualize the framework of bedrock and glacial aquifer systems and associated water resources in a variety of hydrogeologic settings in eastern New York

3)     groundwater within the dissected Appalachian Plateau of central NY - flow, geochemistry, and methane occurrence

4)     mapping sand and gravel aquifers in upstate NY

 

Heisig earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in geology at the SUNY Geneseo and Ohio State University, respectively.

Determination of Sources of Water to the Tully Valley Mudboils

Background and Problem Tully Valley is part of the Onondaga Trough, which extends from the Valley Heads Moraine in the south to Onondaga Lake in the north near Syracuse, New York (fig. 1). The Onondaga Trough is filled with a complex sequence of glacial and post-glacial sediments that overlie Devonian carbonate rock and shale and Silurian shale and salt (fig.2). Mudboils, volcano-like cone...

Areas of sand and gravel in contact with the Chemung River are the most favorable for potential large-scale groundwater supply within the largest valleys of eastern Chemung County, New York, according to a recent U.S. Geological Survey study. More modest water-supply potential was estimated in the valleys of Newtown, Baldwin, and Wynkoop Creeks.
