My research is broadly in the field of physical hydrogeology with expertise in regional aquifer system analysis, and regional groundwater flow modeling. My research efforts pertain largely to the use of stress-strain signals for characterizing aquifer properties and reservoirs used for domestic groundwater or CO2 sequestration. My expertise lies in three-dimensional aquifer deformation and flow modeling by incorporating InSAR (synthetic aperture radar) and GPS techniques for quantifying land subsidence (vertical and horizontal) and its relation to aquifer storage and hydraulic conductivity at the local and regional scales. I also have done extensive work on characterizing aquifers in fractured-rock environments including the use of barometric loading and earth tides for fracture characterization and more broadly on how geologic structure can lead to compartmentalization of fractured rock systems. Fault characterization using deformation signals in 3D is also a newer approach that I'm using to better understand fault mechanics. I have also developed management models with the aim of predicting effects of various water-use scenarios.
During my 20 years at Virginia Tech, my research endeavors have been greatly broadened through my own inquisition, by my peers and students, and societal needs, but my core research objectives have remained fairly fixed. My main research focus has been to develop and advance methodologies to better characterize aquifer systems by taking advantage of observations that extend beyond using only water-level signals, which is what is used in traditional aquifer testing. Aquifer characterization remains one of the most important aspects of hydrogeology and is critical for evaluating the rate, and direction of flow and transport and for quantifying aquifer sustainability and viability, which can be particularly acute in regions where groundwater mining has been occurring for some time. Accurate water-management models require precise vertical and areal hydraulic and mechanical properties of the aquifer system in order to make informed decisions about the impacts of future pumping patterns and rates as population growth continues in many large structural basins where natural recharge is limited and conservation is often a necessity. In order to provide accurate predictive models, detailed parameterization is needed, but historical water-level data alone are not capable of providing sufficient information to adequately parameterize complex hydrostratigraphic and structural systems. My research involves the use and development of techniques and new data observations to more accurately and precisely quantify the hydraulic and poromechanical characteristics of aquifer and fault systems that will lead to highly accurate water-management models in the future.
