Former Graduate Students
- B.S., Environmental Geosciences – Lyman Briggs School of Science, Michigan State University, 1997
- M.S., Geology, Michigan State University, 1999, Thesis: INTERPRETING THE IMPACTS OF LAND USE ON WATER QUALITY USING GROUNDWATER FLOW AND TRANSPORT SIMULATIONS IN THE GRAND TRAVERSE BAY WATERSHED
- Ph.D., Hydrology, New Mexico Tech, 2004. Thesis Topic: Using a combination of numerical modeling (discrete elements and lattice-Boltzmann) and laboratory tests to examine the role of fluids and fluid movement in the control of fracture growth in sedimentary basins
- Recipient of a 2002 Horton Research Grant from the American Geophysical Union for dissertation research on the role of fluids in the Earth’s crust.
Scott Cooper
- B.S., South Dakota School of Mines
- M.S. Studies in progress, Geology, New Mexico Tech. Thesis topic: Structural and lithologic controls on fracture patterns in Teapot Dome, an active oil field in Wyoming.
