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." additionalType: personal statement email: gccherry@usgs.gov hasCredential: - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: California State University at Chico Bachelor of Science, Geology.
