Started at the USGS\ \ in 1988 as a PST for the Paleontology and Stratigraphy Branch, specializing\ \ in conodont sample processing and biostratigraphy. In 1996 David joined the\ \ Eastern Earth Surface Processes Team. Since 1998 David has worked as a geologic\ \ mapper, specializing in geohydrologic framework studies in karstic rocks.\ \ Field areas included: Ozarks of southern MO; Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands;\ \ and the Shenandoah Valley area of VA and WV. David has also worked in the\ \ southern Great Basin and the Black Hills. Since 2003 David has served as a\ \ research geologist and Project Chief of the KARST Project out of the Eastern\ \ Geology and Paleoclimate Science Center, Reston, VA. David also represented\ \ the USGS on the Board of directors of the National Cave and Karst Research\ \ Institute From 2009 to 2018.Professional Studies/ExperiencePhysical Science\ \ Technician:USGS Paleontology & Stratigraphy Branch (1988 \u2013 1997). PST.\ \ Conodont biostratigraphic and thermal alteration research. Worked for Anita\ \ Harris and John Repetski.Associate Instructor:Paleontology and Geology, Northern\ \ Virginia Community College (1989 \u2013 1991).Project Geologist:Midcontinent\ \ Karst Systems and Geologic Mapping (1997 - 2003) geologic mapping and hydrogeologic\ \ studies in the area of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways park (NPS), Missouri.\ \ Developed early digital mapping and GIS/GPS techniques.Task 1, Geologic mapping\ \ in VA and WV:Theprimary goal is to produce 1:24,000 & 1:100,000 scale geologic\ \ maps of selected areas in the Shenandoah Valley of VA and WV. Work in cooperation\ \ with the VA and WV, USGS WSC\u2019s and with local and state governments to\ \ develop a better understanding of the role of the bedrock geology in guiding\ \ groundwater flow characteristics.Task 2, U.S. National Karst Map:Our goal\ \ is to produce a new, GIS-based national karst map. This map will serve both\ \ as a small-scale graphic representation of the extent of karstic rocks in\ \ the United States (National Atlas) and as GIS data that will be linked to\ \ more detailed, site-specific databases. This work involves interaction with\ \ state geological surveys, the National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI),\ \ and karst experts from academia and the National Speleological Society.Task\ \ 3, Geologic mapping in the Ozarks of MO:geologic mapping in areas of Paleozoic\ \ carbonate and clastic rocks and Mesoproterozoic volcanic rocks at scales of\ \ 1:24,000 and 1:100,000. Investigation of geologic controls on groundwater\ \ flow, karstification, and speleogenesis in the Ozark Aquifer. This work addresses\ \ two priority needs: 1) Developing a hydrogeologic framework for the St. Fraincois\ \ and Ozark aquifers in southern MO and potential impacts on groundwater quality\ \ by proposed base-metal mining in the Mark Twain National Fo"
