Daniel Lupton, PG
INTERA Inc., Austin, TX
Daniel Lupton is a Hydrogeologist at INTERA with 11 years of experience in water resource and geological sciences focused on employing field data collection and interpretation methods, such as geophysical logging/correlation, water level sampling, and spring discharge surveys, in conjunction with data analysis and modeling to develop an improved understanding of the hydraulic properties of groundwater flow systems. Mr. Lupton brings specialized expertise in using advanced techniques to analyze and integrate hydrogeologic data into groundwater flow models. Much of his work at INTERA is focused on the acquisition and interpretation of geophysical logs that provide important information on water quality, lithology, and structure, as they relate to defining the hydraulic properties of aquifer systems. He has supported projects ranging from the development and application of groundwater models to evaluate water availability and production economics to developing standard procedures for digitizing large amounts of geological and hydrogeological data from public sources. Through this and other work, he has become proficient in accessing both public and private geophysical log databases and analyzing and integrating geophysical log information to support evaluations of groundwater resources. To perform hydrogeologic analyses and integrate and present hydraulic property data, Mr. Lupton routinely uses tools that include Arc GIS, Leapfrog Geo, and Petra, an integrated application with a common database and interface for project and data management, well log analysis, mapping, cross-sections and seismic integration. He regularly presents the results of the hydrogeologic analyses to clients and other project stakeholders, including GCDs, and at national/international conferences. In addition, Mr. Lupton is regularly responsible for documenting these results in technical reports and industry publications.
