Philip T. Harte, P.G.
Philip Harte is a Research Hydrologist in the New England Water Science Center.
Philip's research incorporates the development of novel tools and methods to address important societal questions related to fate and transport of contaminants in complex groundwater systems to help safeguard our natural resources. He focuses on the study of groundwater flow and contaminant transport in natural and remediated settings with complex, heterogeneous formations. Experience includes over 30 years of work on the national and international arena studying the occurrence, distribution, and fate of natural and anthropogenic contamination problems. Research includes the development of new tools and methods that provide new insight into contaminant occurrence. An important component of Philip's work is the discovery of new findings that results from the unique linkage between the study of subsurface physical flow processes and water chemistry. This work requires multidiscipline application and comprehensive understanding of groundwater hydraulics, geophysics, and geochemistry.

Passive diffusion samplers have been tested at a number of sites where volatile organic compounds (VOC's) are the principal contaminants in ground water. Test results generally show good agreement between concentrations of VOC's in samples collected with diffusion samplers and concentrations in samples collected by purging the water from a well. Diffusion samplers offer several advantages over conAuthorsPhilip T. Harte, Michael J.

Stratified-drift aquifers discontinuously underlie 121 mi2 (square miles) of the Contoocook River Basin, which has a total drainage area of 776 mi2. Maps of these aquifers, showing water-table configurations, saturated thicknesses, and transmissivities were prepared from well and test-hole data and seismic-refraction profiles. The distribution of stratified-drift aquifers is largely controlled byAuthorsP. T. Harte, William JohnsonComparison of vertical discretization techniques in finite-difference models of ground-water flow; example from a hypothetical New England setting
Proper discretization of a ground-water-flow field is necessary for the accurate simulation of ground-water flow by models. Although discretiza- tion guidelines are available to ensure numerical stability, current guidelines arc flexible enough (particularly in vertical discretization) to allow for some ambiguity of model results. Testing of two common types of vertical-discretization schemes (horAuthorsPhilip T. Harte - Software
