Research Blog
My research interests include high-resolution monitoring and modeling techniques to better understand groundwater flow in spatially and temporally complex geologic systems. Methods include geochemical sampling of groundwater after recharge events, fracture flow modeling, and the use of thermal imagery from drones. My study sites have included areas in Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Florida, and now western Montana. |

Although not exactly a research post, this is still geologically themed. When I first moved to Butte one of the first places I discovered was Quarry Brewing - a mining-and-geology themed brewhouse where lots of the rock-minded locals congregate. I had never experienced anything like this so far, which seems odd to me as earth scientists are fairly well known for partaking in the occasional beer. The drinks on tap here are quite good, but especially fun are the names they give to each new brew. Things like "Galena Gold," "Open Cab Copper," and "Schist Sour." My favorite lately has been the "Open Pit Porter." Having growlers in the form of large thermos' was also a nice touch. The brewhouse is decorated with many geologically-themed items, including their own rock and mineral display case! It's been a great place so far to stop by and talk rocks with a number of the regular patrons. It's also a good place to catch up on some paper (or research blog) writing in a peaceful environment. They go through a rotation of coming up with new brews with different names, and at some point I'll have to write up a more detailed post about each. Cheers!
