Bedrock Well Digital Database Project

The goals of the project are to: Work with local and State stakeholder agencies to create a GIS digital database for domestic well completion and water quality reports for the State; Develop a web-based information submittal form so that all future well data are in digital format; Maintain the database on a server at the University that is accessible to the public via the Web; Create GIS based maps helpful to local communities, developers and State agencies that aid in land-use planning and aquifer protection; Conduct scientific studies using the database along with field-testing to answer questions that impact sustainability and ground water protection.

Digital Compilation of Surficial Geologic Maps and Bedrock Contours for the Coventry Quadrangle, Eastern Connecticut, Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection

Revising quadrangle surficial geologic mapping from CT Survey map file information to a modern (2004) high resolution orthophoto base with the incorporation of thickness data derived from water well logs compiled in a GIS database.

Detailed Hydraulic Assessment Using a High-Resolution Piezocone Coupled to the GeoVIS, U.S Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center

Conducting field studies at the Naval base in Port Hueneme, CA, to test the use of the Navy SCAPS system to improve characterizing hydrogeological conditions. Entails pneumatic conductivity testing, field tracer experiments, application of time series geophysics and ground water modeling.

Sources and Significance of On-Site Groundwater Infiltration at Service Stations, American Petroleum Institute

Evaluating the recharge of ground water under the asphalt at service station sites as it may influence subsurface vapor migration. Entails monitoring water table changes in 3D using pressure transduver systems to ascertain sources and timeframes for recharge.

Investigating the Influence of Purging on Long-Term Remediation Compliance Monitoring, Connecticut Institute of Water Resources

Field testing and modeling different purging procedures to ascertain the underlying causes of differences and similiarities in monitoring well concentrations. Monitoring the dissipation of MTBE following the Connecticut 2004 MTBE ban. Entails field sampling and concentration averaging modeling.
