Management of Fresh/Brackish Groundwater Resources: Tools, Innovations, and Applications (cont.)

Presented on Tuesday, April 30, 2013

Presentations will cover laboratory, office, field, and modeling tools and innovations and their applications for groundwater resources management. These include: regional groundwater recharge studies using GIS and stream base flow; aquifer characterization techniques; aquifer storage studies using 3-dimensional visualization; aquifer restoration (enhanced recharge, injection, etc.), groundwater availability, groundwater/surface water interaction; brackish groundwater migration and brackish/fresh groundwater mixing; impacts of drought on groundwater discharge to springs and surface water bodies; case studies of pilot tests and field-scale applications; and influences of hydraulic fracturing on groundwater flow and mass transport.

Moderators:
Jerry Shi, Ph.D., PG
Water Scence & Conservation, Texas Water Development Board, Austin, TX
Jerry Shi is a hydrologist and groundwater modeler.
David S. Lipson, Ph.D., PG
ARCADIS U.S. Inc., Lakewood, CO
David Lipson has more than 22 years of experience as a contaminant hydrogeologist with particular emphasis on chemical transport, subsurface remediation, and fractured bedrock hydrogeology. He provides technical support on a wide range of groundwater contamination and remediation projects. Lipson is well-versed at using mathematical models, engineering controls, and risk-based corrective action approaches at sites regulated under CERCLA, RCRA, and state-led regulatory programs. He earned a doctorate degree in Geological Engineering at Colorado School of Mines, a master’s degree in Hydrogeology at Syracuse University, and a bachelor’s degree in Geology at the State University of New York.
Robert E. Mace, Ph.D., PG
Water Science and Conservation, Texas Water Development Board, Austin, TX
Robert E. Mace joined the Texas Water Development Board in 1999 to manage the Groundwater Availability Modeling Program. Over the next nine years, he rose from a unit leader to director for the Groundwater Resources Division to assuming his present role in 2009 as a Deputy Executive Administrator to lead the Water Science & Conservation program area for the agency. Prior to Texas Water Development Board, Dr. Mace worked eight years at the Bureau of Economic Geology at The University of Texas at Austin as a hydrologist and research scientist.
