   abstract: "Courtney\u2019s current work includes quantifying available groundwater\
     \ resources with the use of machine-learning techniques to map groundwater quality\
     \ across an aquifer in three dimensions. This work helps to identify areas where\
     \ poor water quality may limit the use of fresh water for agricultural, industrial,\
     \ and drinking water uses.Courtney also applies machine-learning techniques\
     \ to predict groundwater levels through time at ungaged locations across an\
     \ aquifer. Courtney's research has included groundwater and surface-water interaction\
     \ studies, low-flow groundwater quality sampling for age tracers, isokinetic\
     \ depth-integrated surface-water sampling, and nuclear magnetic resonance borehole\
     \ and surface imaging. She enjoys using R and Python programming in conjunction\
     \ with GIS to help answer regional water availability questions."
