Project manager for Site-Wide Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report for Brookhaven National Laboratory. The annual project since 1997 includes reporting data on more than 300 on and offsite monitoring wells, producing groundwater and plume mapping covering 8 square miles of lab property, preparing comprehensive figures, tables and report representing the overall condition of the groundwater at and adjacent to the lab. Utilizing GIS as a data management tool proves to be the most efficient, cost effective approach in meeting Department of Energy scheduling and providing electronic data back to the lab in the most useful format.
