   abstract: "Greg grew up on the west coast in the Bay Area and became hooked on\
     \ geology after the eruption of Mount St. Helens in May, 1980. A sailboat adventure\
     \ with family in the U.S. Virgin Islands sparked interest in island hydrology\
     \ and craving life in the tropics. After graduating with a BS in geology in\
     \ 1986, an early assignment with Bechtel Corporation on a Superfund site in\
     \ Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, eventually led him to begin his career with the U.S.\
     \ Geological Survey in the Caribbean District (before offices were called Water\
     \ Science Centers). Thus a twelve-year tenure began in Puerto Rico that led\
     \ to a search for fresh groundwater resources in the outlying islands. During\
     \ that period, Greg served as the chief of the St. Croix Field Office in the\
     \ U.S. Virgin Islands, which focused on numerous monitoring projects. Fresh\
     \ groundwater resources on the main island of Puerto Rico are critically important\
     \ and led to groundwater modeling opportunities along the North Coast Province\
     \ near the municipios of Manat\xED and Vega Baja. In 2002, Greg moved to Atlanta,\
     \ Georgia, to gain an understanding of groundwater-flow patterns near the Savannah\
     \ River Site and track potential contamination. I always feel fortunate that\
     \ the majority of my work has remained focused on issues relating to groundwater\
     \ and groundwater management.Currently serving as Project Chief for the Brunswick/Glynn\
     \ County Cooperative Water Program, which monitors saltwater contamination in\
     \ the Upper Floridan aquifer (UFA). This ongoing work combines groundwater modeling\
     \ with annual water-quality sampling to assess saltwater movement near the City\
     \ of Brunswick. Utilized regional groundwater-flow model of coastal Georgia\
     \ and parts of South Carolina and Florida to determine changes in the UFA caused\
     \ by increased pumping at U.S. Army Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield, and\
     \ for the cities of Pooler, Rincon, and Berwick located in Chatham County, Georgia.\
     \ Part of a team of agencies led by South Carolina Department of Natural Resources\
     \ using groundwater-modeling techniques to forecast future groundwater availability\
     \ in the Edisto River basin."
