À propos I've spent nearly 35 years investigating the geochemical and water-quality aspects of mining and mineral deposits, as well as water quality at coal-fired power plants. My combined background in mining geochemistry and chemical and physical oceanography gives me a unique understanding of the interactions of the chemical, physical, and biological processes involved in the evolution of water quality in hard-rock open pits and power-plant ponds, and in the fate and transport of potential contaminants.
Besides working over 20 years as a consultant to industry, I served in government as Chief of the Branch of Geochemistry in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), where I managed research in exp...
