   abstract: I have been a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey since 1973
     and have conducted numerous hydrogeologic studies in both upstate New York and
     on Long Island. My principal interests include the application of surface and
     borehole geophysical techniques to hydrogeologic investigations, and ground
     water-surface water interactions in both valley-fill and coastal plain aquifers.

   abstract: "I have served as project chief of the Detailed Aquifer Mapping Program\
     \ in New York State since 1982. A total of 34 reports covering important stratified-drift\
     \ aquifers in upstate New York have been released since the program\u2019s inception\
     \ in 1980. These reports form the foundation of NYSDEC's wellhead protection\
     \ program in upstate New York, inasmuch as NYSDEC has proposed that mapped aquifer\
     \ boundaries \"...serve as the fundamental delineation of wellhead protection\
     \ areas..,\" in New York State.My studies of the hydrogeology of the Beaver\
     \ Kill and Pepacton Reservoir Basins in the Catskill Mountains of southeastern\
     \ New York show that the high baseflows of streams in this region are primarily\
     \ the result of groundwater contributions from the underlying sandstone bedrock\
     \ (Reynolds, 2000a, 2004). These findings have revised the planned areas where\
     \ the New York City Department of Environmental Protection seeks to purchase\
     \ land within their watersheds.My long-standing interest in USGS reports has\
     \ allowed me to act as the New York District Reports Specialist and to fill\
     \ in for the Western Regional Reports Specialist in the past. I hold a B.S.\
     \ degree in Earth Sciences from Adelphi University, and an M.S. degree in Water\
     \ Resources Engineering from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.\
     \ I have authored or co-authored more than 40 scientific papers and reports\
     \ on such topics as the floodwave-response technique of determining aquifer\
     \ diffusivity, the application of continuous seismic reflection profiling to\
     \ hydrologic studies, the effect of urbanization on stream base flow, and the\
     \ hydrogeologic characterization of valley-fill aquifers. I am a licensed Professional\
     \ Geologist in the State of New York. I retired from the USGS in 2015 but continue\
     \ to be active as a Scientist Emeritus at the New York Water Science Center.A\
     \ geological footnote: As a graduate student at Adelphi University in 1973,\
     \ I discovered a buried spruce root in an exposure of Roslyn Till in Port Washington,\
     \ NY while conducting a till fabric of stones emplaced in the till. I removed\
     \ and bagged the wood sample, which was later submitted for Carbon-14 dating.\
     \ The C-14 analysis dated the spruce root at 21,750 years B.P. (before present),\
     \ This date has since been accepted by glacial geologists as the approximate\
     \ date of the last glaciation on Long Island and deposition of the terminal\
     \ moraine."
